<VV> shift selector seal

[Cliff Tibbitts]

That little hat is the rest of the seal.  It has to come out as well.  Be
careful not to scrape or gouge the bore in you transmission or the new seal
will leak as well.  Don't ask me how I know this. 

Carefully pry it out and watch out for the bore in the transmission as well
as the selector shaft itself.  You really don't want to scratch either one
of these.

Subject: <VV> shift selector seal

OK, I got a new seal for the shift selector, since mine leaks pretty badly.
The new seal is kind of a metal shell with a rubber insert. The seal that is
in the transmission now is all rubber. When I pull the rubber seal out,
there is still a little "hat" left that sticks out from the transmission
case. I don't know how else to describe it, but it looks like a top hat
with hole through the top stuck into the case around the selector shaft. It
has a small metal lip that sticks out from the case an eighth of an inch or
so. Does the new seal go into that, or does the "hat" need to be removed as
well. The reason I'm asking is that the new seal does not fit into the "hat"
(it's a little too big), and it looks like it will be difficult to remove
the "hat", it's been beat up by road debris over the years. Also, do I need
to put sealant around the metal part when I install it, it seems like the
oil would leak around it.

Thanks for any help,
Lonny
