Inner diameter of tool doesn’t fit the shifter shaft, had to use a lathe to increase tool inner diameter, worked well after that

had to lightly modify to fit, coating and slight deformity made it not fit, some sanding and very light grinding and it worked well. seal included didn't seal for us, possibly install error, but the delco seal seemed to be a tighter fit

I don't write many reviews on items I have purchased but this tool was great. Very simple to use and very much worth the price. Worked fine on my turbo 350 in a firebird attached to a 403 oldsmobile motor.

Worked great on my 69 Camaro TH 400 transmission. Just need enough room to tap tool into seal. Then use bolt to remove seal. On my project, the rubber part of seal separated from met part of seal. No problem, used a pick to remove. Lubed up new seal and lightly tapped it into place. Tight fit with headers, but no worse than a lot of other projects! Nice tool kit, comes with new seal.

After reading all the reviews about this item and similar ones I was skeptical about purchasing it. I went ahead and purchased one to see how it worked and what skill was need to use it properly. I am a mechanic so my skills are adequate for the use of this tool. I wasn’t sure what I would receive from all the reviews. I re received a tool that was machined properly and didn’t seam to have any manufacturing defects. It slid over the shift shaft of the transmission I was working on just fine. At first I had a little trouble getting the tool started into the old seal. In order to get it started and imbedded in the seal all I had to do is apply pressure to the bolt head of the tool and turn the body with a open end wrench. It went in perfectly and seated against the seal. I then proceeded to remove the seal effortlessly. This tool was exactly what I needed to to the job with minimal effort. Worked great.

So I was initially disappointed that right off the bat this thing did not bite into the seal. On the seal there is a thin rubber ring exposed externally of the metal shell. Without the ability to whack the tool significantly due to limited space... getting a bite into the rubber is hard. I tried sharpening the edge of the tool, no bite. Prying/Twisting action... no bite... I found if you take a very fine metal screw driver/pick.... of some type and score the exposed rubber seal (avoid hitting outer aluminum wall of shaft of course) I was able to get a bite by hand pressure alone and the tool did the trick no problem. Just needs something to bite into. Five stars for price, and eventually working. New seal seems to be of good quality. 1988 Iroc/700r4, did the trick.

I used the seal and the tool to replace the shifter shaft seal on a T350 Transmission. It all worked, but had to shape the tool a bit with a fine file and sand paper to get it work smoothly. Not serious...….it could be due to my transmission housing as well. Bottom line ….no more leak......and this is the first time I've replaced a seal such as this.

The tool came quick and worked great. Shipping was a little expensive but when you have to ship to Canada you have no choice.

AS stated the tool does not fit. Tool ID was .497 and the shaft it needs to sleeve over is .501. Not everyone has a lathe with a mini boring bar as I do. I was able to modify BOTH the remover and installer to make them work. Unless you have a way to machine out the ID's of both tools, don't buy them. You will find it frustrating when you make the preparations to do the work then find out you cannot. Plus the remover tool would not thread into the old seal without light hammer strikes and turning with a 5/8ths wrench at the same time to drive the threads into the old seal enough to get a grip. I had to dent the seal like a funnel to get the remover threads to grab the seal. What fun todays quality is.
