I am converting from a tail shifter to a side shifter. I have one but its history is unknown to me - it came out of a parts car that I've had for 10 years or so and it had been sitting in a dead car for unknown years before that. I've never rebuilt one so I approached a local expert about rebuilding it prior to putting it in the car but he recommenced that I stick it in and run it to get an idea of its condition before I spend any time or money on it. Not a bad plan just not what I had in mind.
I have cleaned it up and built a bracket to hold the accelerator linkage pivot shaft but after filling it with fresh oil, I've noticed that its leaking from the driver's side output shaft. Can the seal on this side be replaced easily? |

Yes, output shaft seals are pretty straight forward to replace. Just drain the oil, remove the shaft and replace the seal.
I don't remember the torque setting on the shaft nut, but it is pretty low ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
