thank you for this video. Your methods of removing the old seal with a screw and using a pipe to drive on the new seal are brilliant. .My 2002 F350 manual transmission with manual 4WD has 375000 miles on it now. I am replacing the clutch in a few days. I am now ordering the seal from Amazon. Have you ever had to use an Input Shaft Repair kit KPBZ73HD on any ZF6?
Yes I've used the fitzall kit with the wear sleeve. If you check out my zf6 swap video you'll see it there. Works like a charm. Has been in my truck going on 3 years and running strong.
I'm not sure where to get a new one no, you may have to just scour the internet for one, or see if any of trans shops of wreckers have a transmission laying around that you could steal one from.
Did he mention a part number or did I miss it? Edit: Input shaft seal part number 15818 Edit #2 The original seal is a 40 55 7 seal (measures out to 6mm) You should be able to take those three numbers to a store that deals with seals and they can find you the correct one But the seal in this video is a 40 55 6 seal (measures out to 5mm thick) I ended up using it anyways, hopefully it works out alright
@buildingsalvage At a minute in I show the box for the new seal. It was an skf 15818. It's been in there for over 2 years and 30k now, still sealed nicely.
@@mikewrenchin1735 glad to hear it! I installed the same one and drove the truck for the first time today. Stoked to have it back in action. Doubt 1mm of depth is that big of a deal for a seal that’s held in by a plate and 3 bolts.

The guide sleeve on mine is worn bad, I'm assuming from a bad throw out bearing. Any idea where to buy a replacement?

Did this fix the issue ?
Yes. Have been daily driving the truck ever since and not so much as a weep.
