Transmission Oil Seal

[jon1998]

Hey everyone,

 

I am trying to install a transmission oil seal on my 2wd Comanche with the AW4. I am not sure which way to put in. There are two sides, one of which has a garter spring and a lip around the edge; does this side face towards the inside of the transmission or out?

 

Thanks

Spring has always gone inboard on every seal I've installed.

Is this the seal in the tailshaft extension that the slip yoke rides in?

Yes sir

Then you might want to check the bushing right in front of the seal. The bushing gets egged out over time resulting in a sloppy slip yoke and leaking rear seal. Special tools are required to change out the bushing, and a transmission shop doesn't charge much to replace it - about an hours labor.

Ok, I'll take a look at that, thanks for the replies
