Hi Bao,
Your DVD is on its way as of tonight. For your question, which oil seal? If the surface that the seal sits on is not smooth, you can smooth it out with some fine sand paper and some time. If there is galling then you can fill it in with JB weld and smooth it with sand paper. Any pics of the surface of the oil seal area? |

THE 2ND PIC WITH THE SHAFT STICKING OUT IS THE CLEAREST ONE. YES, INDEED I HAVE TRY SMOOTHING IT OUT WITH SAND PAPER AND JB WELD TO FILL THE LOW SPOT AND SAND TO SMOOTH OUT. YET, WHEN INSTALLING NEW SEAL IT TEAR EVERY SINGLE TIME. WHAT IS DIFFICULT IS THE MAIN SHAFT IN THE CENTER OF THE HOLE GIVING YOU VERY LIMITED SPACE TO REALLY DO A GOOD JOB TO SMOOTH THE SURFACE. MAY BE IF I REMOVE THE GEARS AND THUS THE MAIN SHAFT IS OUT, THAT WILL GIVE MORE ROOM FOR ME TO WORK ON THE DAMAGED SURFACE. IF I REMOVED ALL THE GEARS AND SEND YOU JUST THE CASE, CAN YOU PERFORM THE REPAIR AND INSTALL THE NEW OIL SEAL? JUST A THOUGHT FOR NOW. THANKS AGAIN BAO B |

MAY BE IF I REMOVE THE GEARS AND THUS THE MAIN SHAFT IS OUT, THAT WILL GIVE MORE ROOM FOR ME TO WORK ON THE DAMAGED SURFACE. It is easier if the gear stack is out as you don't have to mess with the main shaft being in the way. However once the seal is in, be careful as you reinsert the gear stack as you have to thread the needle and not tear the new seal. It can be easy to pucker and then tear the sidewall on this seal as you press it into place. De-burring the edge of the case to cut down on any sharpness or burrs can help. You can try something like petroleum jelly as a lubricant as that also can help. Driving it in with something that is not wide enough also can cause it to bulge around the perimeter and that can also make it easier to tear. Try to find something that is almost the exact size of the bore. Sockets work well. Try different sizes to find one that is the right diameter. Or if you are having leakage due to scratch in the metal and the JB weld fix is not working, you might also try something like a non-hardening sealant such as Curil-T. Good luck and...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Richard Thank you Richard, I never attempted before to remove a 901 transmission gear stack. One can understand that I'm somewhat nervous about removing and putting it back incorrectly and will mess the trans completely... All that i really comfortable with is removing the tail end cover housing and is totally clueless from that point on. With all the gears staring at me....wow! I did however removed the side plate and the differential when the original damaged oil seal was pushed through the opening and goes inside the case. I don't think i have a choice but just to go forward and hope that you and the many good people from the forum can help out along the way Thanks again, Bao B |

I don't think i have a choice but just to go forward and hope that you and the many good people from the forum can help out along the way You'll be fine with all of the knowledge here. IMPORTANT: Make sure that, if you remove the gear stack before you study Dr. Evil's DVD, that you count the number of gaskets between the intermediate plate (that's the plate the gear-stack is fastened to) and the case. Also measure their thickness. Write that down so you can put it back together with the same number of gaskets (same thickness). Those gaskets setup how deep the pinion gear (in your picture) fits into the ring gear on the differential. Very important. When you get the DVD watch it several times and study the written notes too. Now in the video the ring is on the opposite side than your 901 because our 914's are mid engine cars, but the operations are the same. In fact it's easier with your 901 to fool around with the differential because we have to take the gear stack out just to remove it. The pinion gear is in the way. Good luck! |
