Just wanted to complete this thread. I replaced the worn clutch pilot bushing, and the damaged input bearing retainer / shaft sleeve, and no more leaks. Thank you for all of your help, especially m-35Tom.

I got it from Erik's Military Surplus http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/mivepa.html Engine Rear Main Seal For 10951177 1 46.00

Borky. Oh, and RTF-TM (read the f***ing tech manual!) One of the reasons I love this truck is because of the available tech manuals. The sections for removing trans, clutch and pressure plate, and flywheel are spot on

Borky, this was my first trans pull and rear seal replacement. Took me about four hours to pull trans first time, and about an hour and a half this time. After removing propeller shaft, put trans in first. Give you some room to pull back trans as you remove it. Lots of great help here, use it!

Bigbird, previous owner had the input bearing fail. Rebuilt trans but he missed the input shaft sleeve. Thanks

Confirmed shielded bearing was used. Thanks

Thanks M-35Tom and Jeepsinker! That is the expert eye(s) I was looking for.

Here are pics of the input shaft and bearing retainer

Pulled the Input shaft bearing retainer, and think I found problem. Previous owner had the input bearing fail. Looking at the input shaft, it is worn down where it enters the retainer tube, and the inside of the tube is worn down on one side so there are no more oil tossing threads. Where would...

Thanks m-35Tom. I agree that the fill level should be at bottom of hole. I'll pull the bearing retainer off and check what is in there. Clinto, the engine oil level is good, and the crank surface looked great when I replaced the seal. Thanks.

*I had NOT noticed the worn bushing before.

Ok, more data. I had noticed it before, but now see the pilot bushing is completely worn for one half of its length. I have not had any trouble shifting, or any whining noises. Could a worn pilot bushing allow the input shaft to wobble enough to create a GO leak? I'm thinking the leaked fluid...

Sorry, forgot to mention that transmission fluid level is 1" - 1.5" below fill hole.

I'm pretty sure it is engine oil, as there is no smell. However I pulled the trans again and there is some leakage from the input shaft (oil around throwout bearing). That oil smells different that what is on my drip pan. I'm getting ready to pull the flywheel, and will let you know what I see.

In the Deuce forum, so yes for my Deuce. Thanks,

I recently replaced my rear main seal due to a leak. Would leak about an 8" puddle after shutdown. When I did the replacement, did not see a lot of oil in bellhousing, but some running down from seal area. No oil on the clutch disk or pressure plate. I also noticed that there was not a carrier...
