Pulled my trans out today cuz i needed to put the motor back in and couldnt get it to line up right, but when i went to pull it out, all the GL-5 poured (literally) out the rear of it since the shaft was out. My question is... is that normal or should i do the seal while im there. Im ordering a new mount for the trans and the seal is cheap enough to justify doing it at the same time. Any help is appreciated. I never noticed any fluid coming out with the shaft in so i wasnt sure if it was normal/to be expected. Thanks all

 

gotta keep the driveshaft in or use a plastic bag and tape when you pull the trans. The seal sits against the side of the yoke to make the seal. If it wasn't leaking before it's probably fine.

 

yea thats sorta what i thought cuz it wasnt leaking with the shaft in. pissed (actually poured) all over me when we pulled it out through the engine bay. Thanks for the input brotha!!!
