Hi
I have big oil leak from the overdrive. Where can I get a new rear seal?

Google 'overdrive repair services'. There are a couple of UK companies who can provide the rear oil seal.

Note, buy a couple as they are tricky to drift into place and easily damaged (or they were in the case of the D type I just did, I think J type is similarly difficult) - you need carefully matched sockets to drift the outer ring of the seal into place.

Hi
I have bought a new seal from ebay.
Hope i can repair the oilleak when i got the new one.
It was very difficult to take out the old seal without the correct tool.
Maybe I have to make a tool to mount the new.
