Well, I finally wrestled the tranny and overdrive out of the car and installed
a new clutch. Upon inspecting the interior of the bell housing, I noticed the
oil seal around the 1st motion shaft is failing. It was installed by a PO
badly as it has a few dents on the metal lip of the seal - probably hammered in
without protecting it. This has the effect of keeping my garage floor well
lubricated.
So, the question is - how difficult is it to remove the old one and install a
new one? How does one get the old seal out? Do I need to separate the bell
housing and transmission to properly get to the seal? I'm assuming I'll need
(in addition to a new seal) the gasket set (assume Moss). There is a buffer
pad that Moss doesn't carry. Is that something I'd need to replace?
As always, I appreciate the collective wisdom of the List and await your
responses.
