Cleaning done, parts are here, reassembly started
Hello to those still watching. I have cleaned up almost everything, have almost all of the things I need to complete the transmission swap but I still have a couple of questions:
#1 - In the picture below I am showing the old tub seal (still on the tub) and the new one off of ebay. I chose the $79.00 one, mid-price range and surprisingly high quality materials except, there is a little difference where the tub seal bearing meets the transmission. Anyone see the difference between the old and new being a problem? The old is in remarkable condition and I will probably save it, but it is kind of deep not to put in the new unless a potential problem is identified. Thoughts?
#2 - The tub cover seal seems to have been leaking a little in spots and there are some rust spots along the lip of the tub where the seal sits. If the seal is in reasonable condition, can I sand the rust on the lip of the tub reasonably smooth and install the seal (either old or new) with a small bead of silicone then clamp in place? Is it worth the effort or does that seal always leak a little?
#3 - My latest parts cache. I still need to order the agitator (which thatwasherguy properly instructed me the part number that has the retainer screw on the side) and the softener dispenser cup.
Thanks to everyone for their consideration and advice. I hope to finish up after Thanksgiving and will show more pictures then.
