Would you have been able to accomplish it while still mounted in the car?Yes, I have done it on a bench.
It isn't that bad
Didnt even think of it being a clearance issue.I honestly don't know the answer to that yet. In a couple months I should have the transmission back in the car and I can take a look.
The exhaust may be in the way, I'll dig around in my pictures and see if I have any that show how long the shaft is so you would know how much clear space you need to pull it out.
The valve body does have to be removed. The seal installs on from the inside.The biggest issue will likely be getting to the two nuts that have to be removed from the inside ends of the shift lever shaft and the kickdown shaft. You may have to remove the valve body. I had to modify an end wrench when I did the seal on a C6 in the car. And, as Bentworker said there may be clearance issues on having enough space to pull them out, may require dropping the exhaust down, or lowering the back of the transmission. Be prepared to have transmission fluid drip on you, no matter how long you let it drain.
Hi! I have done it twice. The first time I did it with the transmission in the car and the second time I was installing a shift kit and changed the converter so I did it on a work bench. The procedure is not that hard! If you take your time I am sure you can do it by yourself. If you area changing the shift shaft seal also change the downshift shaft o-ring, it is inexpensive and since you already took out the shaft you may as well change it. If you have a leak the o-ring can be part of the problem.Has anyone pulled this off?
