Leaking seals-833
« on: May 28, 2009 - 02:01:43 AM »
I have fluid leakage at all three shift shaft seals as well as the speedo cover.
Is there any stuff that I can throw into the fluid to seal them up and get the dang thing to stop leaking?
I've looked at all the trans stuff at the local store and didn't see anything for manual trans, only automatic. Does it matter? I am running atf in it at the moment
Thanks in advance

Generally I do not use ATF in 833s unless you are runnign it year round in a cold climate  the thicker gear oil may not leak as badly either
 I do not know of a seal softener for 4 speeds

Thanks,
I am running atf because thats all I had on hand, I had 90 in there but I drained it since it sat for so long. The 90 was leaking out as well, it looks like I'm gonna need a drip pan or rig up a tampon like that thread on the jeep forum :smilielol:

Call Brewer's and get a gasket/seal kit #GS-23 (check your year 1st), it's like $20.00 or so and you can change the slip yoke seal, side cover gasket , 1-2 / 3-4 o-rings and the speedo o-ring without taking the trans out.
The front bearing retainer gasket, tail housing gasket & reverse o-ring the trans has to come out and apart...

check the reverse switch , the oil leaks through the old style switch , Mopar has a new upgrade that the oil will not seep through

Sweet, I am gonna check on Brewers, cuz I really hate leaking mopars :banghead: although it's not like the Challenger and the Polara and the Charger don't leak tranny fluid, they all need new gaskets and seals as well.
Oh well, one step at a time gets you where you want to go, Right?  :bigsmile:
