The first is shown in the Bentley page 28 Fig 11-1 of the automatic section. It is Item 1 (pinion seal). The other is a small seal on the govenor shaft, that Bentley doesn't show anyplace that I can find. Page 15, Fig 7-1 is a picture of the govenor. It runs on the shaft where it steps from the small diameter to the bigger diameter. Either of these seal is not too hard to replace if you have the differential out of the car. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
