Ford Type 5 V6 Gearbox GBV6705 used in 280i

[OldDave]

Can anyone tell me the correct size for the three oil seals in the Type 5 V6 Gearbox GBV6705, nose cone, speedometer and rear. Also there is a metal ring in the nose cone where the seal goes that looks like the outside case for an oil seal. Can someone tell me if the metal ring should be there or if I should remove it. Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried Burton Power, I'm pretty sure they will do the 2 big oil seals but not sure about the speedo one.

Yes, I bought a gasket and seal kit from Burton Power. Only one seal fit. To get the correct kit, I sent them pics of transmission showing all numbers on outside of the gearbox and transfer case, and they told me what to order. I threw out 2 of the old seals before new ones came. I know, not smart. I can measure parts with digital gauge, but won’t know for sure if fit is correct until driving the car. Trying to avoid a do over. Here is photo of inside of nose cone where oil goes. You can see ring I’m not sure should be there.

Don't think that ring should be there.

I've bought seals from these guys before and never had a problem ,,,,,, seal kit
