Tomorrow's the day I finally install my new tangerine shift linkage. My tranny is leaking like a b*tch, so I figured I'd make the cut needed for the new linkage with the console off the tranny and swap out the seals at the same time.
Following the article on pelican, the old seal doesn't seem like the new seal, and I'm having trouble getting it out. The one in there seems to be encased in metal, whereas the one I bought off the bird is completely rubber. Thought I'd double check on here before I use excessive force to get it out and damage something. Is the metal sleeve part of the seal? Am I supposed to reuse it on the new seal? Any tips on how to get it out, it's really stuck in there. Thanks John (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i2.photobucket.com-17027-1438220043.1.jpg) |

If I recall correctly the new ones are the correct size but are just built differently. Review the Hanes manual for the removal instructions. I am sure there is a trick that I missed but I had to completely destroy the old seal on mine to remove it. Dr. Evil may have a proven method of extraction. But I think it is just one that is a PITA.

Okay, did it! Wow, it did not want to come out. I grabbed onto it with needle nose vise grips and then used all my body weight to lever it against itself. |
