How to get her up and in the car when you're doing an install by yourself
Try rubbing it really fast. LOL Works for me.
On a serious note. Great job. Real good pics too. The bolt that may have been rubbing on the cat. Did it show any shiney marks? Like it was just now rubbing against it?

Not really shinny. It didn't feel like it was rubbing though; it was more like it was hung up on something....if that makes sense.

I finally have my own garage!!!!! We bought a home at the end of sept. It'll be awhile before the cave is up and running ballsout, but I already have a space picked out so that I can reopen this cold case:)

Stay tuned;)

Can you please try taking the shift control rod out before you open the case? A bunch of us want to know if you can replace the shift rod oil seal without a teardown.

I will take a look at this upon getting started...

Yes, the shift seal can be replaced without cracking the transmission.
I did it this afternoon with a transmission on the bench.
Remove the access plate, the screw/spring/ball bearing, and undo both yoke bolts inside.
Take the shift shaft out, the dust boot off, and then the seal out.
It was slow going, putting it back together, but it worked.
I would not try this on a transmission still in the car.

When it was back together, I tied back the dust boot, pulled the seal out of the transmission (still on the shift shaft), cut a strip of my latex glove and wound it around the shaft and seal, and tapped the seal back into place.
Should I develop a leak at the shift seal, I would try something like this.
Not sure if RTV would be usable.....might have to really clean things up to get it to stick, but it's a possibility.

Has anybody done this? Replace the shift shaft seal and install a new one without pulling the transmission?
And, I'd like to know more about the "bandaid" Jittney described....latex glove? RTV? ???
Does anyone have a good picture or diagram of the shaft and seal with the boot removed they can post up?
Thanks in advance.

:bump2

Is the latex glove strip a bandaid or ...? Can someone clarify this for me please?

And, why would it not be recommended to do this while the transmission is still in the car?

Would it be practical if the car was on a lift? Would gravity and access be a factor?
