right the leak is now getting to the point where its costing me a small fortune in ATF. (188mile and then it need just under 3ltrs.)
Right we are looking at replacing the torque converter seal. one snag. how do you get the bl00dy thing off with out damaging anything???
i looked at the old one and couldnt get it to bude. your advice would be great. it has a twist thread on it.
`Haven`t done a miggy-box T.C oil seal
Marie...I`ve done a few on American auto-boxes though and I`d thought they`d be similar.
The lip-seal is normally positioned using a 'drift' (as you would for a bearing)...I`ve used a large 'socket' as a drift for that job.
Removing the lip seal (if it`s the drifted in place type) could be achieved using a slide-hammer or even a screwdriver held at a shallow angle as a lever; being careful not to scratch or damage the aluminium transmission housing.
Maybe an 'expert' will be along soon to confirm the lip-seal is either drifted or screwed in place.

Edit:
Just looked at
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1183142571Does the oil seal fit in that (shown-empty) recess in the aluminium bellhousing around the mainshaft in the second picture?
