When I had my car jacked up in the front, I noticed that I had trans fluid slowly dripping from what looked like the center of the rear yoke. It didnt look like it was coming from around the outer seal but actually from the middle part of the yoke. Is there an internal seal, o-ring? that might be bad. I think if i remember right (25 yrs ago) turbo 400 had an internal o ring or the yoke had an internal o ring built in. any idead would be appreciated. I did think for a moment maybe it was starting to puke because it was in a Mustang

Im almost positive theres no o-ring. I have built several of these back to stock when blown up and never noticed one.

 

well I guess its easy to replace the rear seal then first.

 

yes, verry easy. I would also check the bushing in the tailshaft to make sure its still good n snug around the driveshaft or no seal will fix the problem. If its good then I would also use some emory cloth to lightly sand the outter part of the driveshaft yoke to help it seal better to the new seal your about to install.

 

yeah the trans rear seal is gone bad.I just had my trans rear seal replaced.about a hour of labor and 18bucks for the seal.hey ypu know what if the my 02 is almost 9 yrs old so they dry rott themselves.she's actually is only 8in august of 2002 she will 1- yrs old.One of the last few hundred off the lot when i called asc.

 

cool thanks, going to install aftermarket axles this week so the driveshaft comes out, I'll check the bushing inside the tail shaft then.

 

just make sure that when you slide the yoke in that it dosent have any wobble to it.
