Hubert_25-25 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) It was suggested to me that it would be a good idea to install a lip seal on the transmission input shaft of my 1925 Buick Standard. I am thinking that this could be good insurance to help prevent getting oil onto the clutch faces and also keeping additional oil off the garage floor. I plan to put the input shaft into a lathe just to smooth out the area that the seal will run on, but it is not really rough, and I think you might get away not bothering touching the input shaft, but mine is out. The clutch throw out bearing holder is a rough cast area where I want to install the seal, and this part would be best to clean up on a lathe. I don't know how many years back you can go with this design, or when Buick started putting transmission input seals into their cars. The oil seal is under $25 with shipping. I will post a few other pictures when it is installed. Hugh Edited February 12, 2018 by Hubert_25-25 (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27donb Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 You sure are ambitious Hugh, and you have great skill with what appears to be PowerPoint for your detailed picture too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
