get the new seal from your local shop or online Remove the shift linkage/shift lever, use a pick or small flat head driver to pop out the old seal, clean the shifter shaft and case opening. oil/grease the new seal and pop it in with the open side faceing the motor
i think you can replace the seal by removing the rubber shift boot
Remove transmission and replace front seal.
That is called a shift shaft seal. Replace it.
Pull the transmission and then replace the seal. Pick up a Haynes manual at your local Auto parts store for more detailed info.
how do I replace the seal on a 1990 Toyota 4x4 pick up, where the transfer case meets the exterior housing of the manual transmission?
Get a manual on your car and it will show you how to replace it and do the job right. Yes Mine is not but it appears to be common that it can be either type. When replacing my clutch I found a small leak and decided to replace the seal. The seal itself is not hard, just getting to it.
If the shift linkage is adjusted properly, and the fluid is full and not burnt, you have an internal problem. Probably front clutch seal failure.
Linkage mis-adjusted, or an internal seal failure.Linkage mis-adjusted, or an internal seal failure.
if the fluid is seeping from the linkage area at the trans case ,there may be a seal where the linkage go's through the case ,check your factory repair manual ,also check the trans lines where they connect to the trans case (they may be seeping)
Check oil level, and any leaks on output shaft for seal or baring damage - and if gear select linkage is visable then check for strange ware or hiting cables or body
Front seal: remove engine or transmission and replace the seal. Rear seal, remove the drive shaft to replace the seal. Unfortunately, you typically only have problems with the front seal.
