First off let me thank everyone for the assistance with my other post. I got under the car a couple of weeks ago and found that the TV Cable housing was seeping. When I put the housing in it must have gotten sideways and scored the gasket. Anyway I believe I got that stopped. Knock on wood.
Now it seems that I have one more seeping part to attack. The Shift Shaft seal seems to be leaking. From my service manual it seems like this is a metal press in bushing. But as service manuals usually do the only way to service anything on the car it to fully disassemble the car.
What I'm wondering now is:
Can the bushing be replaced without dropping the pan? I've had that pan off and on 8 times already and I just got satisfied with the fact it isn't my leak. I'm afraid to risk it.
With this seeming like it’s a metal bushing is a leak in this area normal? If so have there been any upgraded parts for it?
Again thanks for your time.
