The original seal is a leather seal set in a steel stamping. Do you soak the new seal in gear dope (the same oil as in the pig) before installation?
The shop manual call for this and it works. I use a margrne tub, fill it with just enough to cover the seal, about one day, or at least overnight. Then install. Do check for wear on the pinion shaft as others have suggested, that is a real problem, and they have offered excellent suggestions for remedy.
