Another leak: how to stop a maunal control lever leak?

On my second O-ring, and it's still leaking. All the parts look good, but she still drips out the lever.

Any suggestions?

Is it just an o'ring ? There is a special square type seal for there

YEah, just under the 1/2 nut. Rebuild kit came with a replacement one.

Not this tranny, but where the nut is missing, goes the o-ring.
However not that I think about it, it might be the larger lever...

Yes that seal to go in there ,is not an o'ring ,it is a special square section seal.. I don't mean the selector seal in the case.

I use a "quad ring" on the small shaft. The cross section looks like it is four o-rings glued together or a cloverleaf. That means it has twice the sealing surfaces and higher pressures in the area of contact.

Yes that's the one..

Thanks Greg and Paul! I'll have to go double check my rebuild kit....

Can someone snap a picture of this seal?
Have a part number?


All I see are o-rings... #6 in pic.

Number six is an o-ring but there is a quad ring in most kits that will fit a slightly worn shaft and bore well enough to keep it from leaking.
