mcratchet1 4 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 2007 Mack mr688s gearbox is leaking around shaft area. My question is how bad of a job would resealing it be? Instead of buying a reman for $1200 mack part# 8148592SV5R or does anyone have a rebuild manual on gearbox any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mackpro 413 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 RH Sheppard has all their manuals on the website. I use it a lot . TRW used to have their manuals online but haven’t checked it a while. First thing would be to figure out which brand then which model gear box you have . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Mack 131 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Is it leaking at the input shaft or the sector shaft? If at the Sector shaft, your done... new box.. There are seal kits for the input shaft, these kits are for several versions, so there will be some leftover parts.. the Mack dealers are proud of these kits.. I have bought them at private truck parts suppliers for less than $50.00.... if it's the input shaft, before you open the seal repair kit,(not returnable).. pull the seal out of the steering box and see if there is a groove on the input shaft at the seal lip line.... if so..... get a new box.... Ok "V" and "F"... you're turn... Jojo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vmac3 35 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I have rebuilt these boxes because of the the sector shaft leaking. In the end it's not worth it. After replacing the sector shaft and resealing the box add labor it doesn't make sense. If the inputshaft has a groove, then the box is toast. Sorry, i wish I had another idea, but as JOJO said it, you are better off with another box. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
