Ok list,

The driveshaft seal on my 87 Syncro is leaking.  (Note, the driveshaft on
the front of the tranny, not the axel flance seals on the sides).

Bently shows how to remove the thing, but has no picture of it.  Not that it
matters.  The ETKA that I have is the European version, and shows part
number 094 311 113, but that is for the type2 syncro, and looks like it may
be a driveshaft de-coupler type unit.  Don't know if that is the same seal
for sure.

The nice lady at the local VW dealer is telling me that the part number is
113 311 113A.  She can't find the 094 number, (coresponding to the 094
transmission right?)
The 113 part number is for the INPUT seal for the transmission, and
according to one online vendor database, that seal is common to Vanagon,
Beetle, Thing, etc.
Is the input shaft seal and the output shaft seal the same?

TIA, John Cooper, '87 Syncro Westfalia
