Title: Tail shaft yoke Post by: KFH on November 29, 2009, 08:17:52 PM I have been cleaning up the tail shaft and universals. On the short section that couples the gear box to the front universal I notices a small grove where the rear seal runs. Can you buy a sleeve that will go over the shaft? There is a new seal in the output of the gear box but I feel a small amount of oil will leak out if I do not sleeve the shaft.
