727 Seal Replacement

[@dakotasclassiccars7246]

I just did the shift shaft seal in my driveway with the trans in my truck. Your video was a huge help to see what I was doing before I did it. I did attempt to do it like you did, but couldn’t get any leverage to actually smack a screwdriver or anything into the seal to get it out. I ended up looking for the tool and couldn’t find one locally and didn’t want to pay $50 for one or wait for one. I ended up getting a 3/4” x 2” steel plumbing pipe and welded a nut onto it. Then I cut a barb into the threads of the pipe so that it would catch the rubber lip and thread in. I made it for about $3 and it worked great. Was able to do it with it in the truck and didn’t have to struggle. But dang I can’t imagine doing it without the tool unless the trans was out. Great video.

THANKS! I’ve changed my leaking shaft seal in no more than 1h with your great video (engine in the car)

Thanks for the info my dude, really helped me out to clear up some confusion! Bout to go replace the rear seal right now!

Great video! My stub is out with the engine and trans on it and did the shaft seal watching this vid. Your videos are hitting the topics that no one on the forums really want to touch. Thanks a lot for making this channel! Keep it going!

On the rear seal. There is a hole in the dust boot. I believe it should be facing down to allow any water to drain out.

Great thanks! Gonna do mine soon

Hey Wyatt, nice job. Why do my reverse lights stay on while in drive but turn off in park.

[@shipwreckedmopars]

I've heard of that before im gonna say a faulty neutral safety switch if my memory is correct.

[@shipwreckedmopars]

Find out what year trans you have, and see if it is supposed to have a 3 pin or single pin neutral safety switch. That drivetrain wasn't original so I'm not sure what year the trans was. Read this thread. Hope it helps. www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/threads/reverse-lights-on-while-in-drive.27113/
