BTW, after fix, I keep the oil level is up to bottom of fill hole, no problem. If you open up the trans, you'll see this level is way below the input shaft.

I had the same issue. Turned out to be a worn input shaft seal (item 3 in diagram you posted). This is what is called a labrynth seal, and uses grooves to sling oil back into the trans. Search my account and you can find photos I posted on this. You will need to drop trans, not that big of a...

Installed new seat covers from New Life Canvas. Look and fit great.

I have mine set to 120. Also I have noticed at idle, compressor will not keep up with much air usage. I usually use the throttle hold to keep RPMs at 1000 - 1200 if I'm doing anything using air.

Just wanted to complete this thread. I replaced the worn clutch pilot bushing, and the damaged input bearing retainer / shaft sleeve, and no more leaks. Thank you for all of your help, especially m-35Tom.

Borky, this was my first trans pull and rear seal replacement. Took me about four hours to pull trans first time, and about an hour and a half this time. After removing propeller shaft, put trans in first. Give you some room to pull back trans as you remove it. Lots of great help here, use it!

Bigbird, previous owner had the input bearing fail. Rebuilt trans but he missed the input shaft sleeve. Thanks

Confirmed shielded bearing was used. Thanks

Thanks M-35Tom and Jeepsinker! That is the expert eye(s) I was looking for.

Here are pics of the input shaft and bearing retainer

Pulled the Input shaft bearing retainer, and think I found problem. Previous owner had the input bearing fail. Looking at the input shaft, it is worn down where it enters the retainer tube, and the inside of the tube is worn down on one side so there are no more oil tossing threads. Where would...
