Do not buy the transmission output seals, the one that attach to the driveaxle, at the local parts place. I am pretty ticked off because the car has been down for a week while I have been waiting for parts. All auto parts store computers and books have the wrong part numbers. Autozone, carquest, and napa, etc., all have the wrong part numbers.
The seal is 48mm inner diameter, 62mm outer diameter, 6.8mm height. From the dealer, the part is $20 each, online it is about $14, I suggest that you don't buy it from the local parts place. Do not buy it unless they have the seal dimensions.
I don't think dealers' parts are that bad. After shipping and waiting, online is still cheaper but like you said, you can get a frequent customer discount. It's labor that I avoid like the plague.
