BluBanshee98 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Did some searching and couldn't find anything. I had bad tranny leaks before my rebuild now after I have one leak at the shifter shaft. The seal is new but still leaking. Groove on shifter where seal rides was pretty deep so I had another that looked a bit better and it still leaks. Now when I bought this thing it didn't have a lower chain roller on it which allowed the previous dude to beat the hell out of the shifter. So is there a bushing in the case that the shifter shaft rides in? If so I think the chain sliding the shaft probably wore out the bushing depending on how long the roller was gone. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Have you thought about try putting a new shifter in i did that on my kx and it solved the problem a new shifter wouldnt fix it. its not a bushing its more of a race and yeah it coulda made it kinda ovaled but did you put your seal in the right way? and make sure its clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) Yes there is a BUSHING in the case and it could be wore too much, letting the shift shaft move around in the seal causing it to leak. Also if the shaft is grooved it will leak. I normally replace the bushing when I have the cases split. If I was doing the repair, I would replace the bushing, shift shaft, and seal with NEW parts.

Thanks...just what I wanted! Yes the seal is installed the right was and this is the second shifter shaft I have had in it. Neither new but one was definitely better than the other. I should have replaced the BUSHING when I had the cases split but oh well you win some you lose some. I'll get some gaskets, the bushing, maybe even a new shifter shaft, and split the cases. Unless I do it without splitting the cases. I may be able to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
