seal orientation

Abbby · Mar 29, 2020

This appears to be a dumb question but here I go. Got the seal for the Sherman step up and pressed it in with the orientation I would normally think. Pretty hard to press it the other way I would think. What you see in the picture is the oil side. faces the transmission. Based on what I know this is wrong. Input?

I'm not sure of what part you are showing
but the spring side of a seal goes to the
oil you want to keep in.

Agree. This is the transmission input shaft tube. Holds the clutch throw-out bearing. Its in a Sherman but I believe same seal without Sherman. So I have my seal installed backwards. Could be tricky pressing in on the spring side based on what I know.

Picture is of a sherman combo.

I unscrewed the 3 allen head set screws,
Pulled the input shaft out, and took the
pic. This is how it was run.

Hard to tell from the picture the seal position. Can you explain what you are suggesting?

Its backerds a EZ mistake to make BTDT on the first one I replaced...

Sure, the open part with the spring, is
facing the oil.

So I will need to install the seal with a method similar to below?
