ok, finally got around to clean up my engine comp and tranny and exhaust.
took a few pics of the mess ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) let me just remind you that the heat exchangers are SS and were spotless when we put the motor and tranny in! also, because the input shaft is above tranny oil level, it only throws out oil while you're driving, not a single drip when parked. well, as you will see in the pictures, except the oil that has already made it out of the tranny ...

Dave,
I just went thru the same experience as Andy - leaking seal. In my case, after rebuilding the tranny, we finaly discovered the "spring" that fits around the inner "collar" of the rubber seal (main shaft) had popped off in reassembly. Cups of fluid on the ground after each test drive. Since you've never ran your tranny, if you have a clutch disk - put it on the MS and turn it and confirm that it at least makes all gear changes. You can drain the old fluid and refresh. Clean out the magnetic oil plug. The MS oil seal is only five dollars - easy to replace. Next would be what you said you don't want to do - remove the rear cover and inspect your low gear syncro and slider gear, or pull the intermediate plate and inspect all. |
