[TR] [6pack] Toyota 5-speed seal failure?

[Joe Merone]

Hey Bill:

Look at my message again.  No where in it do I say that I am actuallly having a problem with my seal.  And in fact I'm not.  I was referencing the discovery of a new potential problem, one of a few changes (solid driveshafts anyone?) that have contributed to my personal frustration and experience with the system.  That's all.

So... when in doubt    RTFe-mail!

If  you will read the  installation instructions from Herman you will  find ...

1. Extend the driveshaft to its maximum extension.
2. Install  the locking collar over the extension, right next to the 
driveshaft, so that it CANNOT RETRACT !!

8. If the driveshaft  dimension is longer than the distance from the 
distance from the transmission flange to the differential flange.  It 
MUST  BE SHORTENED by that amount.

So ... when in doubt   RTFIs ... <:-|
