Anyone know the a place I can get the instructions to replace the transaxle output flange seals and also the speedometer cable on the transaxle? I have checked the Haynes and the Chilton manual, Pelican parts, Auto Atlanta but can't find the info. Maybe I am not searching the correct names?

Dr. E:
My track car has spit out the left side output shaft seal twice and caused havoc on hard right turns. Any thoughts on why this would happen twice ( other than the competency of the installer). What do you use to tap the new seal in place? How far in should it go? Second time I had extra seals in the tool box so never even missed a session. Thanks Terry |

Second time I had extra seals in the tool box so never even missed a session. Thanks Terry Terry, This happened to another racer, Wndsrfr I think, after I built his box. I think some seals are just not as good, or a run of them, wasn't as yall are the only two I know of. He lost two as well and I think we went with a Porsche seal and it has been fine. Old style/Porsche have ribs on the mating surface, the new ones often are smooth. This could be part if the issue. As for how deep to install, if you look into the bore for the seal you will notice a shoulder where the ID starts to narrow to hold the seal. I install right to where the seal is flush with this shoulder as that gives the most contact/friction surface. I use a big round aluminum plug and then lightly tap into place around the periphery until seated. If I go to far (and box is apart) I just push it through and start over. JD, great point on the drain plug. NEVER remove the oil without first making sure you can remove the fill plug or you will be stranded with an empty box. |
