I've had a leaky trans since I bought the car. Decided to have seals replaced. The seal where the shift linkage attaches still leaks...even worse. The transmission housing is worn...and the seal will not fully seal. Any suggestions?

You could use some JB weld around the outside edge of the seal. The shaft hole may need a bushing if the shaft has excess play.

replace the o-ring on the shift selector shaft. very simple and easy fix. takes about 1/2 hour to do after you drain the pan. few wrenches and its back together in no time.

So, change the O ring in the shift selectorn shaft, and try some JB weld to try to restore the housing...

Has anyone ever installed 2 seals back to back in the housing?

I`ve had tranny leaks for 6 plus years,had it "fixed" 7 times and last summer I spent over $3000 to rebuild it TWICE!...still leaks...I`ve given up..."they jast leak"....bouht a $9.95 drip pan at Autozone last week....LOL

My muncie 4-speed still seeps a bit, even after a local rebuild. I'm kinda with Bjorn on this one, and usually just lay a "diaper rag" under the tranny when I know she'll sit in the garage for more than a week.

Try a new seal with a lite coating of rtv after good clean up.

Ok...after installing 2 seals back to back and JB Weld...and a 10 minute ride...no leak after 5 hours.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

Poncho, tried the RTV but no luck.
Shaft didn't have any excessive play.

JB weld to the rescue. The nice thing about JB is if you get it right it usually stays for a long time. I've seen block repairs and even weights glued to a flexplate last for 10 years+.

I "glued" my cracked trans case together with JB on my dirt bike once, no problem

Greg, you have a 4-speed or automatic?
