So im back and i pulled the throwout bearing to change the leaky trans output shaft seal. Once i removed the throwout bearing and this metal tube, I see the following: is this an empty space where the seal is supposed to be??? I must be missing something, I can not believe the motor was installed without the output shaft seal. it is leaking, but a slow leak. (see old posts) what da hell??

it probably wasnt leaking much because the trans was underfilled ](*,)
can anyone confirm or deny if that seal is supposed to go there :shock: :-({|= |

I would tap in the seal, absolutely !!!
My 1971 Super is still on its factory transmission seal (it's been mine since 1976).
I have replaced the transmission seal on my 1970 (mine since 1972). The 1970 transmission uses the "early" style release bearing.

| Oh boy, yes, install a seal. That bellhousing looks pretty oily. Probably why. |
