yea im on the second new seal..I noticed there is a wear mark about 1 inch in length mid-ways on the yoke... It leaks pretty good under hard accelleration.... thx. guys

ask a mechanic about speedy sleeve, its a thin press/on sleeve you could slide over your output shaft to make that sealing surface round again, being slightly larger wont matter because it rides on the seal, i've done this on cranks with no problems, measure the diameter of the shaft exactly down to the thousandth(vernier calipers will work) and tell a shop or parts store what you need..they're about 30 bucks

Behind that seal there is a copper bushing that rides in the tail cone. Those go bad and will allow fluid to leak even past a new seal. If your yoke is scarred I bet that copper bushing is bad.

i went through 6 seals then i resealed the shifter and the leak went away mine was under heavy throttle
