The daily driver has been on jackstands for the last month. I cleaned the engine/trans and it was spotless. After a few weeks I notice a spot on the floor under the trans. The rear linkage plastic cover has a drop on it ready to fall. I clean it off and loosen the clamp to remove the cover. I pull it down and HALF A QUART of trans fluid dumps out on the floor. Oh and burnt fluid smells sooooo good too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

So it would seem that I have a seal that is leaking at the linkage input shaft. Is there an easy way to fix this??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) This is a side shift.

YEP, replace the seal at the shift shaft. I did mine a year or two ago and it was not very difficult.

BTW, why was the transmission fluid in the side shift cover "burnt"?

This would concern me as there isn't any reason why it would overheat in the cover.

Unless, the fluid got so low in the transmission that it over heated and some of it leaked down as well.

It smelled burnt probably because it was old and hadn't been changed for who knows how long. It was most likey burnt before it leaked into the cover.

I have these seals and can ship Thurs if you need. You need to drain the box and remove the console to fix it. OR, you can buy one on my rebuilt selector units and just swap it in. It comes with the cone screws and new shift bushing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Thanks Mike but I ordered the seal from Pelican last night and it'll be here Tuesday. I've already drained the rest of the fluid.

Right on. Did you order the O-ring that you will need to replace on the side that goes into the gear box as well? I have those too.

To remove the console it looks like I need to drive out that roll pin.
Correct???

Big negative good budy! You need to remove the shift linkage (did you order new cone screws?) and then just remove the 2 nuts holding it in place. Click on my rebuild link below for pics.

Yup. You need to wiggle it back and forth while pulling it out. You will get it.

OK, got 'er out.

So the O ring is what is causing the leak and not the seal?

No, the shaft seal is leaking if your cover fills with oil. BUT, when you remove the console you need to replace the O-ring or it will leak.
