Need to drop the valve body. Tap out seal with a punch or screwdriver from bottom and install new one from the top. Use a 15/16 inch socket to tap new one in. Good practice to do this everytime the valve body is dropped, Like doing the water pump when you do the timing belt on a FWD.

Click here and scroll right down near the bottom... There is the tool to do it without pulling it all apart

I've owned the 727 version of that tool for twenty five plus years, It's fine on a truck or van but theres very little room to use it on a car... Pull the pan & drip the valve body, while your there replace the kickdown lever seal & the dipstick "O"ring also buy the reusable pan gasket at your Mopar dealer...

Or chainsaw a hole in the floor and change it while sitting in the driver seat

just rechecked it, leak is comming from the kickdown lever area 100% sure of it!...whats there that leaks?? and do i still have to remove the pan & VB to replace?

---

There are 2 seals , both require linkage removal and one MAY require you to remove the valve body .

There is a seal in the case , that one can be done withthe special tool , there is also one between the gear selector and the throttle valve control shaft , incorrectly called kickdown , that one you ony need to remove the top lever , an e clip and the washer , seal is under it , becareful you don't let it drop should you decide to try it with the VB in the trans . clean the shafts and that area good before pulling the seal that way you don't get dirt in under the seals or damage the seals sliding them back over rusty gritty shafts .

Is it an o-ring or seal? Any help with a p/n of some sort.I replaced the shift shaft seal with marginal success,so Id like to replace that seal also.Not to hi-jack but thanks for any info.
