<VV> input shaft seal

[BobHelt at aol.com]

Pete.
Please DO NOT use two seals if you have a stock shaft. Only special vendor  
supplied shafts can use two seals. The stock shafts will not retain the 
second  seal. It will come out in use and also loosen the first seal which will 
allow  gear lube to get on the clutch.
DO NOT USE A SECOND SEAL.  
Also that retaining ring is needed to control whipping of the input shaft  
and must be there.
Regards,
Bob Helt

Putting  back together drive train and have been advised to use two seals 
in the  counterbore of the clutch release bearing shaft. In the dia. area 
below the  undercut (area where seal goes) the bore is smaller than it is where 
the  washer locates. The length of this seal dia area is approximately 3/8 
inch and  one seal will use up at least 2/3 of it only leaveing just a small 
place for  second seal to mate to. Is there really any advantage to using 
two seals?  Please help, going back together in the morning.
