Reinstall SX M/ What O Rings/gaskets needed?

[scfdbc9]

Pulled the drive yesterday looking for possible water/air leak in pickup hose. What o rings/gaskets etc.. need or would you suggest need replacing when reinstalling the drive? I see the manual suggests replacing different ones. Is there a kit that includes the common ones instead of trying to piece together a list?

Typical seals to replace on the SX-M for reinstall are the drain plug, overflow, and dipstick O-rings and the D-shaped water O-ring. I'm not aware of a kit. If you're chasing water/air leak, check the plastic fitting on the other side of the D-shaped O-ring port to confirm the plastic nipple to hose connection is not broken. If the plastic is cracked there is an O-ring required when you replace the plastic nipple.

Thx for the reply. Drain plug….do you mean where you drain oil from foot? Where is the overflow?

Yes, where you drain the oil from. There is an overflow plug next to the shifter. To fill you pump oil in from the drain plug hole and stop when it comes out the overflow plug hole next to the shifter. Make sure the drive is level. The overflow and drain plug share the same size O-ring. The dip stick O-ring is slightly larger.
