Open side faces in, and install flush with the housing. Do not push it
all the way in.

Subject: Torque Converter Oil Seal

Still working on my AT rebuild.  I am installing the torque converter
oil
seal in the final drive housing.  Since it has been over 24 house\rs
since
I removed it, I have forgotten which way it goes in.  Open side of seal
toward final drive or toward converter?  And Bentley says to dip it in
ATF
and push it as far as it will go.  But it seems like I remember some
discussion on this topic.  Something about all the way in vs. just so it
is
flush with the housing?

Thanks for any input.
Edward
