Re: Return of the Transmission Leak

X2 on the selector shaft seal. I chased a trans leak on my CST for several months, only to finally discover that there was a big burr on the selector shaft that was cutting into the seal. It looked exactly like a pan gasket leak...

Took a dremel tool and smoothed it out...new seal...no more leak. The burr was most likely made by me when I changed the seal without the proper tool. I now own the tool...
