2003 S80 trans output shaft seal, right side, w/o viscous clutch

Hi guys. Longtime reader, first time poster.

I have a 2003 S80 2.9 (L6?) front wheel drive (non-turbo) without viscous clutch. The right side CV axle failed, so I bought a new one to replace it. I sourced an output shaft seal from Advance, but found out during the job that it was way too small (I believe part # was 3543) because it was for a transmission with viscous clutch.

We had to get the car running, so I had to leave the old seal in and, of course, it's leaking a few drops per hour.

Does anyone know the part # or size of the transmission output shaft seal for the right side axle without viscous clutch?
I'm not having much luck with searches and don't want to order random seals (most don't specify whether or not they are for trans without viscous clutch).

Thanks so much for any help!

After much searching, I came up with part #9445681, but nothing states whether or not this seal fits the shaft for transmission without viscous clutch.

I'll keep looking, but I may just have to take another chance and order it.

Call the dealer or one of the site sponsors and tell them your story. My guess is you have the GM transmission and are received a seal for the Aisin Warner transmission on the 2.5T. I tried to look it up but I also came up with various part numbers.

Thanks, Herman.

For future reference, the transmission is GM 4T65E and the seal for the right side, without viscous clutch, is:
Volvo part # 9445681 ($30)
AC Delco part # 24208919 ($12)
GM part # 84706GA ($12)

Got the new seal installed and all is well.

Also installed the spring seat (bushing) on that side to remedy an annoying knocking over bumps. What a pain that was!
