Man. It is tough with these old parts. I ordered a shiftshaft seal from marineengine. OEM part from the parts list(all attached to my motor by serial number). Got it and tried to install it in the old bushing>
I've never installed a shift shaft seal before. Tried to install using a mandrel, but almost impossible to get it in(the old one came out easily) and now I've warped the bushing trying to get it to seat completely.
Totally baffled at what's going on. Is it possible that the bushing was not the right one? It sat correctly on the shiftshaft and did what it was supposed to.
I've ordered a new bushing, but now don't know what to do for a seal to fit.
This is the bushing I got: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255539318781
If I put this seal in, flat side up, it(in theory) should go in relatively easy..Yes?
