727 seal leak

Beware, there is also a seal in the passing gear linkage of the valve body, i seen many shifter shaft seals get replaced and it would still leak from the same area, it will require the valve body removed and the c-clip removed from the throttle pressure shaft (passing gear shaft) and remove the thin washer and you will see the rubber seal in there, its easy to remove and replace and then you can get to the shifter shaft seal too, then you'll have a gauranteed leak free repair.

That's true but if you look close at the pics in his first post it sure looks like it's the shift shaft seal. The first picture is turned on it's side but it's real clear in it. Just have to turn your head sideways, LOL
