Hi guys, need your help once again..

I have an oil leak from the gear shift lever, is it possible to change the oil seal with the engine in the frame???

Yes, it is.

Just take the gear shifter off, carefully pry the old seal out. Put a new one (slightly oiled) in, then put the gear shifter back on, in the same position it was.

Just takes a minute (or three).

Does it seem like this question is now being asked every day or every other day?
