I mated the tranny and the engine back tonight... mind you I only seperated them like 3 weeks ago, when they were seperated, everything fit fine...

now, 1 out of the 2 studs on the bottom seems too short (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) WTF?!

the tranny seems flush with the engine, but the stud is only BARELY poking through the hole, not out far enough to even get a bolt on(even with no washer)! a washer BARELY fits...

here's a pic... what the hell?!

I am thinking no.  But don't listen to me, I have had to pull my tranny about 6 times in the last year.  Number 7 is tonite in another attempt to solve my leaking rear main seal.

Ha!!!! I am a dumbass..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

Just got done pulling the tranny (1hr 30min....thankyou, thankyou).

After all my ranting about a leaky rear main seal, it turns out that it was the tranny seal for the input shaft......

I guess I need some smellier gear oil, cuz I failed the sniff test.....bad.

oh well.

That tranny seal can be tough. Use a piece of lead pipe a bit smaller than the outer edge of the face of the seal to gently and slowly tap it into place. Stop every few taps and observe it to verify it's moving evenly. Sometimes just before they are "seated" flush, they will tend to flange out on you. If that happens, discard it and try another one.

If your shaft is worn at the seal spot, you can unscrew the spring inside the seal, snip off a bit and twist it back together to produce a tighter grip.

We used some adhesive on the outer surface of my last seal. Doesn't seem to leak a bit. I forget what we used, but can look it up for you if you like. PM me.

Good luck with it and hope to see you at the MUSR7
