4-speed dripping oil

[barryv]

hi,can anyone tell me what is causing as well as how  to repair oil that is leaking at the reverse lever connection on the transmission,thanks

There is an 'o' ring on the shaft. Unfortunately you have to remove the guts of the tranny to replace it.

not nessisarily , the stock 4 speeds use an O ring on the shaft & every single piece of the tranny has to removed to replace it , but if it is a later OD version the O ring can be replaced by removing the lever & the nylon ring & the O ring is right behind the nylon

its a regular tranny.does the whole tranny literally have to come apart to replace oring.is there any sealants that may work, thanks

[Changin Gears]

Well not the whole trans, but 98% of it.

[Chryco Psycho]

well it is basicall the first piece put into the tranny case so it will be the last piece to remove , you can leave all the gears on the main shaft though

The reverse lever is on the bottom of the side of the trans.  It is not on the side cover, the 2 levers on the side cover are 1/2 and 3/4.

Just to add to Changin Gears post, if it is leaking from the 1/2, 3/4, you don't have to tear down the whole tranny, just the cover.
