Rear seal transmission A833

[Johnnyscarnuts]

Hey guys I got a little drip from the back of my transmission.
I was going to take the driveshaft out and see if I can replace the seal.
I just fixed my jack so I can jack it up really high now before it would only go up enough to barely take the tire off.

The seal looks beautiful I wet sanded the yolk a little bit to takeoff a little bit of wear marks,I guess the seal just wears out the chef seems to be tight in the transmission not much wiggle

While you had it out I would have replaced it with a new one. That is the norm when removing a seal. It is up to the owner if do or don't. Well it looks like your making progress buddy keep up the good work. Russ.

 

[Johnnyscarnuts]

Oh no I’m definitely replacing the seal I just said it looks like there’s nothing wrong with it but at closer inspection you could see the cracks around the edge of the rubber

May try a bit heavier hypoid gear oil. Have no idea what was recommended by Plymouth now. Make sure vents are all open or pressure will build up and yup, appears as leak from somewheres. Even gas tank is vented.

 

[Johnnyscarnuts]

does anyone know if the seal goes in dry?

 

[quikbird]

I vote for putting a little lube on it

 

[Johnnyscarnuts]

To late went in dry the sealing surface is on the other side.
Test drive no leak I’m good

Alittle Lube never hurt it actually was needed, oh you mean the car?
Yea yea yea

Yep always put some lube on it she said OH seal said and leave my sex life out of this. Use a good quality bearing grease like the blue or green light weight.

If you go to heavy it won't shift as well. I like Pennzoil® Synchromesh Fluid

Hey Russ some clown offered me 25k and said is it even a real Road runner??

Should be OK especially in a warm climate. These things came with ATF in them to start with and the service manual calls for heavier oil in warmer climates

Was he wearing sandals and holey blue jeans and driving a mini buss. Just blow him off and some one will come along to give you a good offer. Russ.

I whole heatedly agree on the Pennzoil® Synchromesh Fluid.

Just find a better place to run the add for the car. I told my friend to take the car out to some places where all the old cars hang out and put a for sale sign on it and wait. It is a lot of fun and a lot of people will look at it. I saw one on Mid West autos for sale looked like yours was it. Hang in their Maybe find a yacht club or polo field and hang out.
