727 Control Linkage Shaft Seal replacement

Man dude is this the trans that was just rebuilt? They should have replaced that!!! Got me wondering???? The proper way is to drop the pan and valve body to replace it. You can Mickey mouse around for 2-3 hours with a pick and awl digging out the old one taking a chance of scratching up the fragile aluminum case or valve body shaft causing a PERMANENT leak. (Or jamming the awl into your hand OUCH!!) Even in a little Scamp I can drop the pan and valve body and change the seal and have it back together in about an hour and a half. A Torqueflite is the easiest trans. to work on bar none. Do it right and you will be miles ahead brother.
