shifter seal is leaking just a bit

[eric1981]

It may be a dumb ? but whats the easiest way to change out a dripping shifter seal. I was thinking of screwing a small screw into it and grabing it with a pair of plyers to get it out then using a socket that is the same size as the the new seal and tapiing it in. But i dont want to screw the new seal up. So figure i would ask fro some help

thanks guys

Yea that would work :thumbsup:

 

I just took a scriber, stuck it into the seal and pried it a bit until it came out. Put oil around the new one, slid it along the shifter shaft and then used a socket. After that I checked to make sure it was flush with the cases.

 

Good Luck

Actually I tried the same thing with a screw real carefully and as I was screwing it in it was working as a puller, started working the seal out.
