I've got a nasty leak at the back of my transmission. I've got to replace my shift selector seal (I destroyed it without realizing I didn't have a replacement handy). Judging from the leak it looks like it's most likely the output shaft seal. I'm thinking pulling the tranny is the best way to get the 30mm nut off. Looks like it's a pain in the arss.
This may sound like a dumb question, but if I pull the tranny and build a wooden jig to hold it upright - what will stop the 30mm nut from spinning when I try to break it as there is no resistance from the engine on the input end?
Does anyone have a DIY of removing the nut and replacing the output seal? I've read it's easy to mess up the seal. I'd like to supplement my Bentley Manual. If I'm going to pull the tranny should I do my input shaft seal too even if it isn't leaking?
Thanks...
