Re: [alfa] Transmission front seal question

Biba....
   After having done several trannys and experiencing oil seepage from the
bottom of the bellhousing, I found most of the oil was getting past the
shift rods and the shaft seal was not adding to the problem.......I now
replace the O rings and now have much less oil on the garage floor...
