I replaced all the seals cuz the crank seals were bad. the transmission side was so bad it was hard to tell which direction it goes back in. It can go in 2 ways but I think I put it in wrong cuz it still smokes real bad. Does anyone have a pic or a link so I can see which direction it goes in so when I get the new seal I can put it in correctly. It would be on the tranny side thank you.
Seal replacement went wrong

I am gonna tear it back down tommorow morning and see what I can do to it. I appreciate the pic but the seal kind of looked like that on both sides except it was new. It looked like it could go either way. All I know is it is a new seal and it smokes as bad as the old one. The service manual doesnt really explain too well about the direction. The mag side will only go on one way, but the tranny side looks as if it will work either way. I do thank you for your help.
if your still burning gear oil after replacing the seal, then most likely its leaking from the two case halfs.
general rule #'s face out
there is a lip with a spring behind it that side is to be in...numbers out
also on that seal you should clean and inspect the sleeve that goes over the crank and if it is grooved you should be able to flip it...I dont thing there is an o-ring between it and the crank like vw's
