Hi. Thnx. Good info.
I called Memphis Equip. and asked about that seal and they said those
trannys use a swirl-cut nose cone and no seal. He said the reverse swirl
keeps the oil in the tranny.
I haven't worked on anything like this so I don't know if this is how it
works but I will take their word on it.
