Hello;

After discovering an oil leak at this area, figured I would replace the 40 year old seal AAU2304 and gasket 2A3628 and possibly cable. At the top of the  speedometer adapter DAM8488 which contains the seal is a pronged fork 22A862 and the way it came out was with the prongs facing upwards although I have seen photos of the prongs facing down against the adapter.  Anyone out there know the correct orientation?  Also is it better to install the seal from the top or bottom of the adapter?  All for a 4 synchro Cooper remote gearbox.

Andrew

The seal can only be fitted from the inside (or bottom) of the adaptor.

22A862 is fitted this way;-

Thanks!!

 

A picture is worth 1K words.  I am wrestling with this while the engine/trans is in the car.  Swear jar is at the ready.

 

by the way your gearbox looks pristine!  Mine has a lot of "patina" i.e. oil stains, road debris and who knows what else.
