Clutches In the heat

there is no front seal. all front leaks are almost always traced back to bad front bearing and damaged or loose or no gasket front bearing retainer. if it leaks with proper oil level, bottom of fill hole, there is something wrong at front bearing.

Yes I came to same conclusion when I pulled the tranny this morning and found no seal. Just a walk back worm gear. It turned out to be a bad bearing.

and there are several choices in front bearings, only one is really good, i don't have that number on this computer, it should have 11 balls and a shield on the side away from the outer ring groove (rear of trans)

Tom could you please post the number of this bearing ? Thanks.

front and rear top bearings are 1308SL, rear counter shaft is 1307L, front counter shaft is M1207EL, and I buy the 14 rollers bulk and get ones that are .125" longer for more support.
