VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1933-1936 Torque tube leak

I pulled the engine/trans, from my 36 standard sedan, to deal with a knock. Before I did that I checked the differential level and it was way over full. So the trans oil leaked into the differential.
The parts book lists a washer/seal # 474921. It looks to be behind the front bushing. So far the only thing I can find online is a C-36-S NOS "Okie" drive bushing assembly. It has a seal in it. $90 on epray.
Is this the proper replacement item for this 474921 seal?

It looks like the bushing comes out to get to the seal.
And the u-joint shaft is a bit rough so I put in a $35 bid on one.

I did research the forums but did not find much.
Thank you for any assistance,

The 1936 Standard front and rear bushing and seal fit that model only. There is not an Oakie type bushing made today for a FC. The seal was only a ring of cork. Perhaps some one will reply that found a real seal that will work.
If it were mine I would try to get the old stock Oakie bushing and seal you mentioned if it is for an FC.....

Thank you for the fast reply Gene.

I went ahead and bought it. Says it is for a FC. I just hope the seal is still pliable.

Thanks again,

That should come with a more modern seal If it has grown old and hard will still be a good sample for size.

To revive old stock cork seals. Place in hot water. Watch carefully as the cork rejuvenates. It will expand to the correct size; however, it will keep expanding if not removed from the hot water. The cork seals that I rejuvenated did work just fine.

Modern lip seals are readily available from bearing supply shops for the 1933-35 Standards so if you give them the inner and outer dimensions chances are they may be able to help.
