    C4 Shifter Seals

    I apologize if this topic has been covered. 

    I have a 1967 with a C4.  My son started the project of replacing the shifter seals on the transmission but about half way through and got distracted (got a girlfriend) and I've gotten tired of seeing the car up on blocks, so I've decided to finish it.

    Seems pretty straight forward so far, everything is off, pan, filter, valve body no issues problems. All to get to the nut that holds the inside of the shaft.  Some difficulty breaking it loose, but did finally.  Took the outside nut off and got access to the outside seal.  My question is how do I access the larger seal.  I don't  see a way of taking the shaft completely out.  Does the piece on the end come off some how. Any tips on reassembly will be appreciated so I don't have to do this a second time! 

    Thanks, Brian.

    In the BadShoe video, Ken has both the outside manual linkage rod and the downshift rod (removed from the inside) removed. He then pries out the seal with a screwdriver. I personally don't know if there is enough room to remove the outside manual linkage with the trans up in the tunnel, or move the downshift rod inward enough to allow access to the seal. Let us know your results.

    There is a YouTube video by autorestomod but they leave out a lot of the important parts. Does the shaft split into two pieces?

    The outside manual linkage rod is a actually a tube that encases the downshift rod .
