I am replacing the shift linkage seal on my 73 dart swinger, which has the 3 speed 904 auto, how do I correctly press the seal in the transmission ? Do I have to lower the trani or is there a press to apply pressure evenly to not mangle the seal?

 

Can you help with my 904 trans?

 

i dont think ive ever had to replace that seal? could you use a socket the same size as the seal and lightly tap on the socket?

 

727 has same seal. I know an A body tunnel is a bit tight.

 

same problem, just bought a 68 barracuda, leaking like a goodun from linkage seal in casting just above pan, would also like to know if its an easy fix
thanks fintan

 

You can get tools like this:http://www.amprotools.net/product_li...id=5&mode=show

But you still have to drive it in, manual says 15/16" socket. I think there is some tool that pulls it in with the pan off. Lowering the trans a bit is not a big deal if you loosen the motor mounts so as not to rip the rubber.

 

BUY an extra seal. You will have to lower the trans to gain clearance / Working room. Getting the correct tool is a good idea !!Makes the job much easier esp when working under the car !!!
