Found it. As I suspected. (Neat little trick, get bottle of spray powder gold bond. Paint thick coat near area you suspect. Go for short drive). In my case, I went for longer one >.>



Jack M: "You can change the seal without removing or tearing the trans down. You have to remove the shift shaft arm on top which is held in place by a pin. The pin only comes out one way and is pressed in very tight. You need to use a serious air hammer and pop the pin out. Then you can slide the arm off and the seal is right there and slips right off.

Again, you need a serious air hammer to get it off, or there is no hope of removing the pin. The pin comes out on the front side, so you need to have the air hammer pointing toward the front side of the car and the pin will pop out toward the radiator. If you go the wrong way, you will force the pin in tighter and then you're really screwed."

Seems daunting.

Sorry for no photos, been busy with daughter past 2 weeks.
