Isn’t there a large o-ring and flat surface gasket around the pump that also shrinks and leaks with age? Did you replace the o-ring? Experience says reseal everything with new once you have transmission out. My 2 cents.
You are correct. I didn’t change the gasket between the pump and the bell housing because I didn’t want to get that far into this repair. I also didn’t think it was leaking. This transmission needs to be rebuilt anyway.
It looks like you have the channel side of the seal facing away from the transmission? I'm not a transmission expert, but I usually see the seal channel pointed toward the transmission.
Most of the time it's the bushing behind the seal is what's causing the leak I have figured out the hard way to replace them both and not just the seal
@TheMinuteMasters well I did a converter once didn't check how the seal wood fit the torque converter after all the work I did on it when I started the car had a massive leak after redoing everything turns out they sold me the wrong seal ever since that incident when ever I have to replace this particular seal I first check seal to torque for proper fitment before install never had that issue ever again
If you were looking to replace the torque converter seal shop may charge you between $700 and $1000. If you do it yourself, it’s just the cost of the part.👌
well explained and shown. thank you very much.
Thanks man!🤙
Great how to video stevie.
Thanks Terry! I appreciate it!🤙
Awesome
I can't believe you threw that at us!
🤷♂️ lol
My eye 👁️!
My 94 Flareside 4x4 needs 1 of those, fun, fun removing all that.
You’ll have two more steps than the 2wd. That’s removing the front driveshaft in the transfer case.
@@TheMinuteMasters And dealing with the Heavy E40D and Transfer Case
@@bdwren Ah! That too!
Thanks for the video, appreciate the info. Have you pulled it for a rebuild and if so have you done a video on that process?
I did a rebuild years and ago and filmed a two part series. It does to cover every little detail but it will get you through certain parts.

I’m not an transmission expert either but that’s how these seals are installed. When I’m doubt, match existing.🤙
I hope the bushing in the front is good because if not it will take out the new seal as well.... But they may have fixed that design flaw by then.
The bushing should be good. I didn’t see anything out of place when I pulled the seal.
Most of the time it's the bushing behind the seal is what's causing the leak I have figured out the hard way to replace them both and not just the seal
I’ve heard that too. In my case, this seal was the culprit.
"Finished look"? is there going to be a nano-cam in there monitoring when running? Amazing. ;)
I know right! Lol I guess that’s the craftsman in me.
Should always check fitment of seal to torque converter for proper fitment
How do you do that?

@@ramonolmeda2280 gotcha. That makes sense I always replace like for like.
How bad was it leakin?... Was it comin out like a waterfall?... Mine is leakin pretty bad when i turn on my truck
It would leak a good couple of ounces once I would park and truck and turn it off.
What is the cost for some work like that ? I. Saving on a el camino chevy

i notice the notches on the bushing are side-to-side. in the manual they are picture up-and-down.. do you know if that matters?
Good observation. I’m not sure if those notches mean anything.
Did you put the bushing in or was that stock?
When transmission pukes fluid ,,, I think the seal don’t stop to actually. I just change the pump and the torque
Thanks for the tip. As far as I could tell, the puking has stopped. So the seal definitely did the trick.
With that leaking Will your truck go forward
If you leak enough fluid, your transmission won’t function properly. However, just having a slow leak won’t cause issues.
Its rtv absolutley necessary?
I believe so. At least that’s what the professional shop used.
@@TheMinuteMasters i see others used red loctite, rtv sounds like a better option to me
@@TheMinuteMasters but also wont it block the oil fill hole
@@user-uq6vh3ps7m I don’t think so. At least my truck hasn’t exhibited that symptom.
I hope I don’t have to do this anytime soon… More specifically removing the transmission.
Hahaha! I hope so too. I’m done for a while. Lol
@@TheMinuteMasters have you thought about doing a full restoration/rebuild?
@@adamfpv8294 Like park my truck and completely disassemble it? I’d love too but I don’t have another vehicle for a DD.
@@TheMinuteMasters yes, you’d also need a large sum of money :)
@@adamfpv8294 This too! Lol
