So I have 45000 or so miles and decided to do drop the pan and replace the filter in the 6spd trans.  I was looking for a seal remover tool but could not locate one so I decided to make my own from suggestions I saw on the net.  I purchased a 12: 3/4 metal pipe with the 3/4 NPT thread on both ends.  Cost about 6 bucks, I also picked up a Tee fitting and I had a 5in section of 3/4 I reused.

 

I seal is about 1/2 inch total height so took the 12: pipe and I cut about 7/16 off the threads.  I did this so it would not go into the trans past the seal an mess it up.  I had 2.5 lb weight I used as a slide hammer, it fits perfectly on the 3/4 pipe.

 

I assembled the thing with the weight and Tee with the additional 5in pipe and threaded it directly into the seal in the trans, as soon as all the threads on the pipe were inside the seal the seal began to rotate.  At this point I used the 2.5lb weight and with two drops the seal popped right out.  I was amazed how well it worked.

nice work! I cheated on my 14 and just used an old wood chisel that was super skinny to carefully get next to the lip on the valve body and hit it toward the center of the seal then once I got it pushed in enough I used a hard pair of needle nose pliers to grab and pull it out. Putting the seal in I just used the back end of a 1/2" shank impact socket that was the same diameter of the seal and banged it up in the valve body.

Used this today and it worked great. I used a 22mm deep socket to seat the new seal. Little Dexron lube on her and send her home. Trans filter went in with (2) solid clicks. There's a plastic stand-off about mid-way down on the filter that rests against the underside of the valve body to let you know you're all the way in.

 

Cheers.

      AUX switch install

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Update for anyone following:    Installed everything as shown in diagram. Opted for 8 AWG from Battery Positive to a 50A resettable inline breaker. 8 AWG is tied into to 2x 12 AWG wires feeding a 6 way fuse bus in parallel (manufacturer’s design of what I purchased).    4 of the 6 fuses available for circuits are tied to terminal 30 of each relay. I tied a jumper from one of my spare circuits off the bus to terminal 86 of each relay. The trigger, terminal 85, was pulled from my interior by way of T-Taps from the X61A-X5 pins 10, 11, 17 and 23. This was the hardest part of the job. Even with the X61A unbolted and the X5 removed - there was VERY little wiggle room.  I added back up lights that I want to come on with my cargo lamp - but when I would check continuity between S48A-X1 pin 18 to its respective landing point on the X61A-X5 it triggers the factory relay… Instead I opted for a add-a-fuse on the passenger interior fuse panel (fuse location 10 - cargo lamp) and ran it through the boot on the driver side to my load. Did this to avoid introducing any electrical gremlins.   Note: Please check for continuity between the S48A-X1 and the X61A-X5. In my case wire colours were not the same as other’s who have posted. To do a continuity check you need a Multimeter. Completely disassemble the S48A-X1 and remove the brown face plate off the X61A-X5 by way of a flat head screwdriver - this was the only way I could get any results.   The outputs, terminal 87 of the relays, were fed into a junction box and landed at Individual studs and were labelled Aux 1-4.    At this point, all you need to do is run wire to your loads and bring them to ground. I created a negative bus in the engine bay, all my negatives land here.    For anyone having issues with all of your new aux switch lights coming on with the press of one - I noticed this only to be an issue when the battery wasn’t hooked up to my relays? No idea why, but it was quickly corrected by having my system buttoned up and functional.

      Needing this part.

      Don't need the air tube but that's how everyone sells them. Most places won't remove that one piece and sell it alone. No money to be made. Hoping someone swapped theirs out for a CAI and no longer wants it. Not asking anyone to give it away. Offering to buy it but I don't need the tube. It's held on by a hex head screw and nut. Been all over eBay.
