 Is there a source for the double lip seals? It is my understanding that th=
ese seals can be replaced without disassembling the OD to get inside it. Am=
 I correct?Gary

 Yes, the OD cross shaft seals have been an issue for sometime and some sup=
pliers sold just o-rings as a solution which were less than adequate. The a=
ctual double lipped seal is best needed to keep from leaking-two o'rings ma=
de the shaft/solenoid work harder. If you want to keep leaks to a minimum t=
hese seals are the best choice. The intimating part of the replacement was =
to drive out the tapered pin which could be difficult. When doing the lever=
 side I put the 3/16" drill bit in the OD setting hole before driving out t=
he pin. Check carefully for taper before driving it out the wrong way. You =
will be glad you fixed these two leaking ends. Hank

Thanks for the input Craig. I'm still debating the flywheel; hopefully, my =
path will be apparent when I get the box out.

I'll be checking the bell housing bolts, and the input shaft for wear. I al=
ready have the OD operating shaft 'quad rings,' I got them as soon as I saw=
 Roger Moment's article (long story about the seller).
