It is called gear box rear main seal. The mechanic has said bit of a job . has any one out had the same problem in there 1990 T3 water cooled transporter? I would like to get it fixed before I go on a long run where the oil comes out more but not enough to top up all the time. thanking you for advice please. petersbilt.
There is a bit of work involved in fitting the seal and I suggest that you replace the flywheel seal and clutch whilst it is accessible, from memory the transmission can be removed without removing the engine but may be wrong. It is a few years since I had the transmission out of a transporter, others on here will be able to verify this.
