Deuceman51 sells a set of winch seals for around $50 bucks. As for the bolt near the shaft, there is one on my shift plate where the shaft enters but it does not interfere with the handle. Are you sure the hinged lever on the back plate is not set to stop the lever?
P.S. George at White Owl...
I do grinding and wire brush work outside and sanding outside or inside with a sander equipped with a vacuum hose. In either case I use a full face mask. Just blow you nose once in a kleenex after sanding and you will want the mask.
I can't really say since I have not owned a CJ-5 but I read that the M101A2 M/C is the same and sure enough, the parts in the rebuild kit are dead on the same.
