Shift lever seals

[Mad4slalom]

Hi again,
Has anyone managed to replace the shift lever seals on a muncie four speed in situ? Do you know if the two levers and the side casing / cover has to come off and if they are o rings or something else?
many thanks

They’re a metal cased lip seal. You will need to remove the pressed arm from the lever.
You might be able to do in situ but it’d be a damn sight easier just to take the side cover off.

Forward ones do. Reverse is part of the tail shaft housing.

Worth checking for play in the shaft. The seals might be ok and the bush gone giving too much movement for the seal to cope with.
