Shifter Shaft Seals
Time to replace the shifter shaft seals on my 78 4 speed. I have a few questions. First, is it best to remove the side cover or try to replace them on the car? Second, any things to look out for when doing the reverse shaft seal? I understand it can be a bit tricky…

You might want to contact http://www.5speeds.com/index.html as it might be possible to do the job w/o removing the plate. It's worth a shot as it should save a lot of time if it can be done that way. The owner has helped me in the past and is a member of the Forum. Great guy.
