Rear seal on Tremec 3550

[westcott cobra]

Hello all,

my prop shaft made by a professional prop shaft supplier is made to fit my 3550 tremec.

But tremec is not a real common tranny her in Germany, therefore the company had a "inner" rear seal in mind as they fabricated the part according my drawing and measurements.

I found out the small problem directly during assembly but accepted the situation for the rest of the summer.

Now the rear seal of my tremec is damaged a bit and leaking because it is sealing "outside" and too far rearwards arround the unmachined part of the yoke.

I don't want to shorten my prop shaft!

Has anybody a part number for a rear seal mounted as the original part but going to the inside of the tremec?

Next winter I want to replace that leaking red thing by one not sticking out of the tranny.


Thanks,

Uwe

Lew,

they just have one part#!!

But we found a smaller rear seal in a common T5 repair kit.

The one normally comming with a Trmek is the seal with a mud protection lip on and needs 10- 15mm extra sliding length at the yoke.

This one and the smaller one(without that lip) come together with the repair package.

Thanks,

Uwe
