Gearbox Gearchange Rod Oil Seal

I didn't want to shock the shaft sideways. It is surprisingly easy using the above, I had to take apart and add more washers at some point, but I didn't need much effort with the spanners!

here is my update on replacing the rear gearshift seal with a 14mm double lip seal.  It was nice and dry for a couple of days.  The I went for my first drive and upon returning the shaft seal start dripping again.  I guess in the near future I will install the seal I bought from RD Enterprises and live with the drip.  I have a nice drip tray so what the heck.

Check and make sure the transaxle breather is clear.  If it is blocked, the transaxle will pressurize as it heats up.

Thank you for the tip JB.  I removed and disassembled the transaxle breather to make sure it is clean and clear.

Since I have cleaned the trans breather, I cleaned my drip try and I haven't seen any drips.  Another drive is in order to get things hot.
