Re: [DML] Shifting and sealing problems, M/T

["stainlessilusion" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

The seal on the side of the transmission with the large O ring is 
holding up just fine... It's the seal on the other side and of course 
that little tiny seal 103049 that is a pain to replace are both 
leaking like a sieve. Thanks John and David for the information on 
this problem. I've just noticed today that it seems a little wet near 
the clutch master cylinder where it bolts on the inside of the car 
so, I'll get the seal kit for the C-MC just so I know it's done and 
doesn't fail on my 3000 mile drive. Thanks for the suggestion on 
changing the clutch fluid and trans fluid, I just did the brakes and 
flushed the system... but the clutch fluid hasn't been changed for a 
long time so I'll get to doing that as well. Thanks again guys! -----
