jon1998 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Spring has always gone inboard on every seal I've installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I'll take a look at that, thanks for the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
