You are right Kevin, That seal is not an O ring. It is lip style. Is the metal ring around the seal the part that you would pry out? Here are some pics, as you can see it is now on the bench. The seal on the shift arm is inaccessible from the inside, at least without taking out the main gear to release the shifter shaft, and I have not figured out how to do that yet. Looks a little complicated. There is a large spring clip in a groove on the shaft (at the bottom of the picture). Do you know if that releases the shaft so it can then be pulled back and out of the gears, and out of the housing?? Not sure what the round gizmo, just above the main gear hub actually does, but something clicks at the end of each shift movement, either direction. The gizmo rotates with the shaft. Is this thread better placed on the driveline forum???
