I rebuilt my straight drive VD over the winter and then had it bench tested. I also had them install the output seal while it was there. Trans is working fine but the seal is leaking a little bit. I guess one of the tricks when installing these is to put some RTV on the splines. I know the guy did that because he told me a lot of people forget to do this and then the seal leaks. There's irony in there somewhere
Is it worth trying to seat it in a little further before I replace it? It's something I might let go until the end of the season. I'm also waiting to see if it slows down but I have about ten hours on it so that looks less likely.
On my cars, I try to get cam/crank/diff seals riding on a slightly different locations and wondering if it's worth a shot in this case.
thanks
