Velvet Drive Transmission Leaking? Here's a Common Fix 

it seems that in your example leakage is coming from the three bolted plate were the neutral safety switch is located, I looked mine but there on the outside it looks dry. Or is the leakage inside and going out thru the shaft. I loose halve the content of oil in 30 hrs of running time. Is that the only place where it could leak? Does the outgoing shaft not have seals. The oil in my case is splashed outboard at the flywheel. Please advise.

Thank you!

Vice thank you been watching your videos helped me a lot!!!!!!! What kind of oil does these take ?

Vince, great information thank you. My question is on the 12 o'clock location of the SW. How is that established??

Vince, this is Bill we talked about that PCM 40 leaking out of the bolt on the side. Is the 1.23:1 pcm 40 able to come apart like this?

You showed us the "o" ring, but you didn't show actually removing it and replacing it. Is there anything not obvious about removing it? Pry it off over that big chunk of metal in front of it? Will it slip over that without breaking? Thanks

Is that o-ring special? I know some rings are effected by diesel and brake fluid. Reason I ask. I wish I could buy it from you but I’m currently anchored in Nuku Hiva FP

What if the o ring is fine and the transmission still leaks. What else could it be?

SO CAN THIS BE DONE WITH THE TRANS IN PLACE?

I have model Velvet AS15-72C / 2.91:1 562

Was that BAD written on that velvet drive, ‘97!!

I would place dip🎉 stick I picture ball falling in box

would it be easier to just drop the $400 to pick up an ebay trany instead of going through all the nitty gritty and i do mean shitty gritty of the tediouse process of .....huh, wat....that looks like allot of tedium
