Shift arm shaft seal leak
One of the shift arm shafts is leaking slightly on my rebuilt Toploader transmission. My main concern is I'm getting a leak and I haven't even driven the car yet - only run it in neutral. At first I thought I might have over-filled the transmission but the fill port is considerably below the shifter shafts so I guess igear lube is getting thrown up on the fork and shaft and dribbling out.
Is there a seal on the shaft that is replaceable without major dissassembly of the transmission? It looks like the shafts screw into the forks so I'm assuming I might have to pull the cover and unscrew the shaft.
