4 speed leak

[barryv]

 i have tranny fluid slowly dripping from my 833 tranny. it is comming from were  the reverse  lever bolts up. its a small drip but constant.any ideas or does 4 speed have to be taken apart,thanks

if it is a normal 4 speed not an od the first part to install is the reverse lever with an O ring on the shaft so basically you wouild need to tear down the whole trans , if it is an OD there is a nylon ring behind the shift lever , pop that out & the O ring can be changed without taking anything apart

its a regular 4 speed. i guess i have a problem,thanks

CP, Are the 1/2 and 3/4 shafts set up the same as the rev on the OD? I have an "ooze" on my 3/4 shaft lever o ring on my 833OD. Can it too be changed from the outside or will I, at a minimum, have to pull the cover plate?? Thx, Bob

Hey Bob
 You can swap the O ring from the outside as with the reverse on the OD units

Cp, Thx, since I blew a head gasket at Bonn 100 race I am pulling both heads for some cnc porting and obviously need to move the header so it will be easy to get to. Bob

[Chryco Psycho]

too bad about the head gasket

[Bobfish]

Well the silver lining is that in Sept I was gonna pull them for some cnc porting by Huhes Engines. It'll just happen 3 mos early.... Besides I traped at 185.6 and that was all we had so its time to upgrade for Silver State.

On the up side, they are remarkably simple inside. Get a 12" long piece of 3/4" EMT, it'll make the roller bearings easy to do.
