Journey to the center of the Transmission

I fixed the shifting at speeds problem - loose clutch cable (Thanks Evan, Roger & Mr. BrokeVW.com for helping me identify it!)

Now I am able to really crank into gears at high speed. I have noticed some minor leaking in the transmission, which I had drained and refilled with new transmission oil. It appears to have some seal issues around the drive axles. Here are some pics of the right drive axle:

And the left drive axle:
Consulting some folks about checking the seals here. Nothing of major concern, just don't want to start dripping oil everywhere I go!

Now that I am zipping around in Electro, I realize I need to tune my rear brakes. They work, but are a bit soft.
