Quick fix for leaky fluid

[JagImaging]

Hey..I just got my 99 banshee..and it seems to be leaking tranny fluid from where the shifter output goes into the tranny. I did a search and found out that its probably a bad o ring that just needs to be changed..My question is there a spray type stuff that I could spray on the area to slow down the leaking for a little while since I just got my quad and would like to at least ride it a bit before having to take stuff apart on it. Oh and while Im at it..what type of tranny fluid works best?

Thanks

Jeremy

It's not an o-ring, it's a seal. Very easy to change too. Take a sheet metal screw and thread into the seal, it will push it out and you can slide a new one over the shift shaft and gently tap it in.

Oh ok..cool..thanks

Well it seemed to work..Is the seal in two parts? the part around the shaft and then more rubbery type stuff around that.?

Thanks

no, sounds like yours seperated or something..its one piece..i use bel ray exl 10w-40 for my tranny fluid. works pretty good as far as i can tell. been using it for 3 years..

Thanks yeah mine came apart..so I had a fun time cleaning out all the rest of the old seal that was in there..So I got the new seal and tried to put it in and it does not fit flush with the casing..is it susposed to.? It looks like half the seal is exposed,, but it did stop my leaking problem..

Thanks again
