[DML] re: Manual Trans Seal

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes

You can take that back cover #54 off the trans in the car and replace 
it like that. Drain the trans. Remove the shift linkage and then the 
transmission mounts so that the trans can be lowered. The engine will 
hit the back wall (or the exhaust will hit the facia) and stop, no 
need to support anything. Once that cover is off the car you'll have 
to knock out a couple of roll pins (4/1/4 #5) to get the shaft out. 

I've never seen that seal fail or leak - it's far above the static 
oil level of the trans. Also replace gasket #57.

BTW - from this point to removal of the transmission from the car, is 
removal of the axles, the clutch line, and 4 bellhousing bolts/3 
starter bolts. And some muscle power or a good trans jack.

Is it possible to replace lip seal #103049 (4-1-1 #52) on the manual
transmission without removal/disassembly? -----Dani B. #5003
