Transmission Question?

[avantinet]

I have an R 1 with the automatic transmission. I have a leaking shaft seal in the side of the transmission. I bought the seal and then realized the problem. There is no clearance to replace the seal because of the transmission hump. Does this require the removal of the transmission or is there an easier fix? Any help on this one is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chuck

You may be able to get to it if you support the engine/trans with a jack and remove the crossmember enabling you to lower the unit. You should remove the ignition shielding over the distributor and the distributor cap because as the engine and trans tilt downward the distributor may contact the bulkhead.
