Re: 05 Sunfire Manual Transmission CV Shaft seal problems.

Just to make sure we're on the same page, this is about the boot around the spider gears on the joint, right? Assuming it is, ideally you want to use a new c clip.
Fasteners like c clips, snaprings, cotter pins, etc. get worn out after being installed, doing their job, and being removed. If reinstalled, that old c clip could fail, possibly leading to a whole new set of problems.
