'74 2.0 Side Shift (but you knew that)
OK, finishing up on the tranny rebuild (Thank you Dr Evil @dr_evil ) and I am not able to remove the shifter Selector Rod seal..........   I have tried using a seal remover, screwdriver, long-thin drift from the other side (wrong angle), a pick, a hammer and the screw driver, all while being careful trying not to marr the side of the seal housing. It almost seems as if there is a metal washer pressed into the hold on top of the seal...........weird...... Any ideas? Experiences? Incantations? |

The Seal has been removed, Turns out that this seal (I am very certain the tranny case has never been opened before this) has a steel outer housing. Kind of like a bearing case.
I needed to deform and then pull it out........about 1.5 hours so I did not screw up the receptacle. Hole?    |

Yes it used a metal ring to hold it firmly in place.

The one that came in the tranny gasket kit is not as bulletproof. Any advice as to this component?
All vendors seem to sell the same one - has anyone ever bought one with a steel case? |
