We have developed a leak on our rear oil (transmission) seal. The fluid leaks out and then sprays 360 degrees in engine space when shaft spins! Yikes!!!
Does anyone have any experience replacing the rear seal and O ring without pulling the transmission? Looks pretty tight down there with not much room to work. Can get the coupling apart but access to seal is limited. We have a 1990 PSC 34 with the Yanmar 3HM35F engine and a Kanzaki KBW10 gear. Our gear takes ATF fluid and there is no noticable loss of fluid on the dipstick at this point. Caught it early on so transmission ok so far. Just starting our charter season so timing not good but do not want to run like this until repaired!!!
Thanks,
