I have a side shifter that leaks at the console.
I cold drip every hour… I bought the transmission gasket set from pelican There is nothing in the set for the shifter console….nada I removed the console It looks like there is a bushing at the bottom. Does anyone have a clue on part numbers to order to rebuild the shifter console? It’s a 75/76 if that matters. Rich |

Ok, it is wicked cold and raw here.
I really need a huge shop heater….but the construction kerosene heater makes it tolerable. Of course the part in question has been in the parts cleaner soaking….so it is at 30 degrees to touch..awesome times. I learned two things. The o-ring around the housing was torn and mutilated. The shaft seal was 47 years old and no longer up to the task. I’m not convinced the “transmission gasket kit” has the right o-ring diameter, so I will do some deeper research on that. Not sure where yet. To pull the shaft seal I used a combination of a few steps. 1: tear out the rubber seal 2: take an old wood chisel and carefully put a cut in the metal top lip of the seal, without touching the housing 3: prying at that point still did nothing 4: map gas torch, heated up (it will catch on fire, there is still rubber and grease…be prepared 5: pry after heat and it popped out (after I put out the fires…. Nothing major) |
