[TR] rear oil seal TR3

[wbeech at flash.net (wbeech at flash.net)]

Don,

It leaked badly, and then we learned that the machine shop neglected to put
the pressure relief holes in the rear cap.  Everything else was re-checked
and is in perfect spec. 

Now is only leaks moderately, I did not give away my bag of oil-dri.

Bill 
 Are saying the "modern MOSS oil seal" leaked and had to be replaced?
Thanks
Don

        Frank,

        I think you are asking if it can be done without pulling the engine.
I

        asked this question last year and the overwhelming sentiment was to
pull the

        motor & trans.  While it CAN be done in-situ, the effort and
headaches make

        pulling the engine a much easier option.

        
        

        And yes, I pulled the engine/trans as a unit then when in to replace
the

        modern MOSS oil seal.
