<VV> Shifter shaft seal

[George Jones]

Yes, it's not a big deal. I use a sheet metal screw to penetrate the metal
portion of the seal, the use a big screwdriver under the head of the screw
to pry it out. Doesn't always work, but worth a try.

When fitting the new seal, coat the outside of the seal with RTV Black
before you tap it in. It will prevent any oil from seeping past the seal.

Thanks to Smitty Smith for showing that one to me.
