A340 Front seal replacement

[TheStitt]

No I've never worked with auto's before.

How do I change the front seal of the auto box. Is it just like a rear main, get seal out (probably destroyed) and just tap new one in???

It seems that why. I'm just hoping I don't have to pull the front section off

Any help would be great

Have you pulled the torque converter out yet? Once that is out of the way it should be easy to get to.

I have done plenty and I haven't found an auto yet that needs the front housing removed.

It should be a similar size seal to the front crank shaft seal and the same to change. As you said, "get seal out (probably destroyed) and just tap new one in".

The front trans seal actually seals on the snub on the rear of the torque converter. Make sure you polish that surface up with fine wet and dry to give the seal a fighting chance.

Yep, remove torque convertor, grab old seal with a pair of needlenose pliers, or screwdriver and lever out, clean seal seat, add a little rubber grease if you want, then tap new seal in gently. Clean torque convertor drive up, add lub to the seal and torque convertor drive, then line up the drive flanges and reseat the torque convertor.

job half done!
