Hi tr3 people have any of you every replaced the seals in the back of the shifting tower? It looks like I have a leak there. And I have never tore one down.
Regards George
 
I am in the process of tearing down three TR3 transmissions, (long story about overdrive, seem my old posts on this) so I can take a look at the tower if you tell me which seals youy are talking about. Do you mean the one where the three shafts exet towards the shifter?
 
Hi yes those are the ones. I guess they are just o- rings. Perhaps Moss has the right ones, they do list them. I was thinking last night that maybe not much oil would get that high, but ?

I think that they are just O rings. I think there is only a plate with screws holding them in. I will check that now and get back to you with a confirmaaiton.

I don't expect much oil get there and there is no pressure as the oil is just splashed around the gear box by the spinning gears.
