Bradan F355 service

Just curious. Do you use the little bottle of Redline Additive with the 75/90 NS or not?

 

Bradan's back posting pics! Excellent....

...nice funnel for oil fill. hahaha

 

Curious, when you drained the transaxle fluid (assume you did) how fast did the lubricant come out? Have heard that putting off the replacement of transaxle fluid can result in some very expensive problems.

The synthetic stuff gushes out in about 60 seconds.

 

The shift shaft seal looks like an easy fix. I had a shop tell me otherwise, mines leaking like mad.

 

It is an easy fix in a 6 speed. The F1 is a bit trickier.

In the F1 you need to disconnect the input shaft form the actuator, unbolt the actuator assy and pull it out of the way. I marked the bolt locations on my actuator and unbolted it.

Once the input shaft is disconnected, the seal pops out with a screw driver. Press the new one in with a deep well socket and reconnect.

Actuator went back in, lined up with my marks & all worked as it should. An SD computer alignment check showed I was almost dead on with the re-install.

 

Mines a 6 speed, how quick is the process on that? thanks for the input.

 

Half an hour to an hour depending on how stubborn the old seal is coming out.

 

ok cool.. quick run through on the process? Thanks

 

Cut the boot zip ties
Disconnect the shift rod from the input shaft
Move the shift linkage out of the way
Minimize the amount of movement on the input shaft
Take a flat head screw driver and a small hammer and gently tap the seal out
Put new seal in
Press in with a deep well socket
PUT THE BOOT BACK ON
Connect the stuff you took apart
Zip tie ends of the boot.
Open Peroni
