John S Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Was going to pull the tailstock and remove and replace the reverse shifter shaft seal. But as the picture shows the reverse cam boss taper pin is installed upside down. It should go from top to bottom not bottom to top. That is a problem. I decided to read up on that and found it could cause a lot of problems Might just have to leave it alone. Don’t know if I want to open up a big can of worms. You can see by the pictures.

Had the car for 10 years. Transmission drives shifts well and is very quiet. Never had any issues. Just had to change a couple leaking seals and gaskets.

John S Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Disaster averted. I was able to pry the old seal out and put the new seal in. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
