thanks gator! I never knew of that hole in the frame. I was going to lower the tail shaft. You saved me a lot of work.
Great tip thanks

The old seal comes out easy enough however to install the new seal is a bit more tricky as you will need to fabricate a tool that will fit over the selector shaft and contact the face of the new seal, then you will need to use something like a flat bar with a bend in it to pry against the frame of the car to "press" the new seal back in.
If the hole is there and lines up, this is what was recommended on the twin Ultra. 55 seal was the same as earlier and I think shaft is close to same length so might work on yours. Use an extension to get extra length thru the hole. Attach file: ![]() ![]()

Erik,
Lowering the tail shaft will not provide any additional clearance, it contacts the "X" crossing in the frame before it can drop down low enough to do any good. HH, Unfortunately the hole through the frame is slightly offset from being in direct alignment with the selector shaft thus making it difficult to insert a seal using a hammer and socket. I found that for the "in vehicle" replacement, the prybar method was quite effective and easier to control making it less likely to bugger up the seal. if the hole could be enlarged then hammering one in could be done more easily but still not a lot of room to swing a hammer.
