\n<\/a>Oil was starting to leak from the shift shaft, which is a common issue, so let’s replace it.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>It was dripping so much that little drops were accumulating at the bottom.<\/p>\n

\"DSC08365\"
\n<\/a>Surprisingly, oily spots clean up nicely when you give them a good scrub.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Oil seals aren’t typically pressed in that tightly. I bent and filed a flathead screwdriver into an ear-pick shape to remove this oil seal, and it popped right out!<\/p>\n

\"DSC08371\"
\n<\/a>When inserting the oil seal, wrap the entire shaft with protective tape, then push it in by hand with a pop\u2014and you’re done.
\nPushing this shaft to the other side can get a bit messy, so be careful.<\/p>\n

\"DSC08374\"
\n<\/a>I’d recommend coating it with some penetrating oil for rust protection and lubrication.
\nThe case’s oil seals get hard from heat, so any seal could potentially blow out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
