JimVR4 95 Spyder Engine Rebuild

[DrGonzo]

I started on the transmission last night after cleaning the major gunk off of it a couple weeks ago. I removed the bell housing and managed to change out the passenger axle seal after several attempts. These damn seals are TOUGH to get square with just a hammer. After 20 minutes of cursing I finally got it started well enough to drive it home. No such luck with the driver's side axle seal but since that one is in the bell housing I just took it to the machine shop along with the flywheel for resurfacing. A little expensive at $65 for the flywheel but they pull the dowels and do a two step resurfacing.

$65.00 is good. Mine charges $75.00 for 2-step flywheel turn and replaces the pins if need be.

I got 1.01 off the price because I told the guy you would give him a handy in the parking lot.

Back on topic lol

Planning to re-seal the transmission with Permetex Ultra Black. Considering pulling the mid case just to re-seal it as well. What else has to be removed to split the mid and end case?

Sorry Jim

Are they leaking or you just being anal? I cant remember exactly what needs to be done but I wouldn't do it unless it was leaking. Oh and before you mate the trans back up put some fluid in it to make sure you didn't screw up the output shaft seal.

Damnit Jim, I'm a college student, not a mature adult!

But, I also wouldn't do it unless it was showing signs of leaking, or you were already in there for something else. I did fill my trans (and the tcase) before reinstalling either to make sure that they weren't leaking.
