The best plan is to make sure your crankshaft end-play is on the (This travel gets greater, the more the thrust bearing wears.)ĭepending on the crankshaft wear in the seal area, this lets the seal lose The clutch, the crankshaft walks forward a tiny bit. Some don't leak, but the majority do, or eventually will.Īs a rule, automatic equipped trucks tend to be less leak-prone, but I don't have any part#'s handy, but I use either Fel-Pro, or National brand.

After reading through the FAQ and the search forum itself i still have a few questions.ġ. ![]()
