Front Oil seal on T9 spurgear Trans?
 

Greetings from Germany,
my first Thread, but i am a regular reader.
after the break-in of my 8BA, done with whole Transmission (want to check it and never assembled an enginge/clutch/Transmission combo), i found the Trans is a bit leaking. Trans is the original T9 4speed spur gear, ( 51 F1 Pickup) . Yes want to keep it, Truck is 95% stock 51.
The rear seal, easy to find. But even with the Parts Catalog, i can not find a part/number from a front Oil seal, just the slinger/oil baffle.
Is there no front one at all :confused: or just it is undocumented or am too stupid to find it.
i don't want to separate engine/trans now just to look, due to shop space limitations.

Those did not get a front oil seal. You could try using a sealed front ball bearing....remove the inner seal and leave the outer seal intact. Normally, the oil baffle and the drain back hole in the front bearing retainer is sufficient to keep the oil inside the case. However, if you park the vehicle downhill, it could leak past the open bearing and into the lower bell housing.

Thank you for the reply, i was in serious doubt about my ability to read a drawing. only just change the rear one.
i am happy, no engine/trans separation needed. you saved my day :)
