Rear Main Seal replaced - now more leaking

[Jeepsinker]

X2. No need to tear that transmission apart. And you can probably get that snap ring from any transmission shop that deals in standard transmissions, not just automatics.

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

Anytime man, just joined up here, and I don't have many posts, but that's only because I just decided to join a site. Lurked here for a good while though. Anytime you need a keen eye just ask. I have seen there are many excellent members here just like myself and I'm proud to be a part of this. Seems that people can always get the help they need here.

Previous owner had the input bearing fail. .......................

I would make sure that it was replaced with the correct bearing, in that it is shielded, on the inside. NTN/NSK part number: BL308 ZNR

Confirmed shielded bearing was used. Thanks

Was the Input bearing loose or bad? it looks like something got some play and let the shaft rub on the oil groves inside the release bearing tube/housing. Those groves keep the oil inside the trans , make sure they didn't get ate up, or you will be doing it again . good luck

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

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!

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

 

[borky51]

Do you have the part number for the rear main seal and where you would you recommend I get it from.

 

[mjtracy]

I got it from Erik's Military Surplus http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/mivepa.html

remove top cover of trans before removal from truck. 300% easier to pull trans then.

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.
