mtl92 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hello, I've got my manual transmission apart a bit to replace the external seals and gaskets. To replace, the shifter selector seal and shift control rod o-ring, I'm trying to get the shift shaft lock screws out. The book says I need the tool KMO-44, which I don't have. I've tried with a screwdriver, which it recommends not doing, and can only get one of the four screws out. Anyone have any tips? Thanks in advance for the help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtl92 Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Nevermind that was a dumb question. I modified a screwdriver to fix and used a wrench on the screw driver. As a follow up, with not as dumb a question: lock tight when reinstalling? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NailheadBob Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I use Snap-On flat tip screwdriver #SSD8 (it has a shank to use wrench up by handle end) and a 7/16" box wrench and works great I do not use Loctite, just the screw driver and box wrench.

mtl92 Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Thanks, Nailhead Bob. I munged my selector seal so once the next one comes in I'll be reassembling! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john hess Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I just made a tool for this myself. I used a 1/4 inch old craftsman chisel and ground to fit the slot in the set screw.. slow, and dipped in water often to keep it cool.... works great.... no locktight on mine either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtl92 Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 Thanks everyone for your replies. I got another question. Do you all use sealant to attach the rear bearing retainer or just the paper gasket? Same question for the transmission to clutch housing gasket. Thanks again!
