The tranny is a borg warner as1-71c velvet drive with a ratio 1to1 . ive heard it could just be the front seal or does the transmission need rebuilt? I have recently aquired this boat so not sure if the tranny works or not as not had it out on the lake. Any suggestions?? your help is greatly appreciated.

Rebuild time. I totally agree! Eric used to really comment a lot about the issue. When the pump is worn beyond tolerance, it will by pass oil and pressurize the area behind the seal. A new seal will not solve the root of the problem. Who told you it was just a seal problem? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < Posted By: Bencruizen76 Date Posted: June-19-2015 at 10:44pm nobody but was just hoping that all it would be? so it will need a rebuild for sure? Posted By: Bencruizen76 Date Posted: June-19-2015 at 10:59pm also do i have to remove the bell housing from the motor or will the transmission come apart from the bell housing? Posted By: DrCC Date Posted: June-19-2015 at 11:06pm Put it in the water. Take some ATF with you. If it shifts normally and does not rotate in neutral, then all you need is the front seal. And yes you can leave the bellhousing in place. Posted By: Bencruizen76 Date Posted: June-19-2015 at 11:15pm Thank you, i had it running in the driveway today and the prop was not turning in nuetral, didnt put it in forward or reverse tho, should i for sure put it in the water before i pull the transmission out? i thank you for the help. Posted By: DrCC Date Posted: June-19-2015 at 11:23pm Launching I suppose would be entirely up to you. You said it runs perfect. I never know until I take a test ride. They can sound great on a trailer, then act differently on the water. Of coarse that's engine and not necessarily trans. We already know the trans is old, if it has sat for any length of time, it's usually the seals.
