Selector Shaft Seal: Transmission Leak

[Makocross]

It will probably take longer to jack it up and put it on jack stands. I tried using 50 years of wrenching tricks and nothing worked. Bought the special tool and it was a 5 minute job without dropping the pan. The tool also helps install the new one

I had my seal replaced by a shop. Now, I have to move the shifter around to get it to start. Also, I am having some intermttent hard shifts...

I'm going to take the VX back up to the shop...but, I'm wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on wtf they did to the car? Over/under filled the fluid?

I watched and asked questions as my skilled mechanic replaced my seal. At the end, he confirmed that all gears worked properly and that the VX only started in neutral and park...or just park, I cant remember. The point is that he checked these things and said that things can be out of alignment when the selector switch is put back on.

I would have your mechanic adjust it.

Or your mode selector switch could be going out as well.

My guess is the trans linkage adjustment bolt was not adjust properly after they did the work. They didn't need to touch the linkage bolt but easily could have just assuming is was necessary. The linkage needs to be adjusted properly to get the trans positions correct between the console & mode selector switch.


Here's the pic of it.

Big thanks...I explained this to the trans guys...I think the tech understands...will let you know how it turns out.

That's totally what I meant. Just without a good use of terminology to hand off to your mechanic.
