jord Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Back again for help, When I replace the rear tranny seal does the sharp point of the seal face towards the inside of the transmission, Continental Comments issue 104 mentions it that way. Also will I run into unknown problems or is it straight forward. Again I really thank you all for the assistance, I would be lost without the forum.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40ZephSedan Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Many different seal styles. Does this look like your seal? Usually the metal side is out, and you tap on the metal band side of the seal with the proper size socket and hammer to install, and the inward motion of sliding the rubber seal onto the shaft flares the rubber flap away from the oil side -as in photo.RotaryShaftSeal.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jord Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Seal was different, purchased it from Boos-Herrel and found two mechanics who both confirmed the tech article from continental comments, the pressure side pushes down on the seal and should hold back the oil. This is one operation I would not look forward to redoing. All this started when the oil float came out of it's pan guide and started knocking on the crankshaft, decide to pull the engine to repair it and while doing this found a lot of problems. Some of the gaskets on the transmission were missing so I was able to get new ones and will install. Also had to rebuild the transmision mount, it was toast. The new one looks really good. So hopefully in a couple of weeks should have the engine back in and running.Thanks to everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
