Does anyone know how to replace the plastic seal on the tranny?
This is the seal that goes where the shift linkage hooks to the shift shaft, it has the boot that covers it.
It's on a 97 integra. My question is does the tranny have to be broken down or can it be replaced from outside?

 

You'll have to open the case to replace that seal, sorry.

 

Damn that sucks...well I need to do the clutch anyways.

 

check my sig for a clutch

 

i've seen it replace while in the car....

If you're talking about the seal around the shift rod in the trans case, I *think* you could do it while it's in the car. I installed the seal in my 92 trans (which is almost the same internally as the 97) after the trans was assembled (but before it was in the car). If you can get at it from underneath, I think it would work.

 

yeah, you can see it underneath the car. is there any secrets on removing it or do you just bang it out?

 

It should just pop out, and you tap a new one in.

 

The slinky looking boot pulls off then a flathead screwdriver and a hammer will pop it off. Trade licks on either side of it to work it out. Then put some oil around the new seal and pop it in with a deep socket and hammer. Replace boot and shift linkage.

 

Thanks
And this is all done with out taking it apart right?

by the way, when mine started leaking on my GSR tranny, I stuck a D-series seal in and it fit perfectly, no leaks. kind of odd, huh? just wanted to point that out bc it may be cheaper or you may have a s-eries tranny laying around. Good luck!
