After putting in a  engine last fall,  yesterday,   I removed my transaxle
 86 Syncro because of a heavy gearing sound with every turn of the drive
shaft.
       Now,  when I did the engine I replace the pilot bearing and
installed a new
 felt seal but the flywheel was missing the seal retainer.   After
examining  the
pilot bearing thru the clutch and pressure plate,  the felt seal is
ready to fall out..   Its obvious that the seal is not going to work without
the retainer  and its not available..   What have you rebuilders been
doing about
this?  Removing the seal and forgetting about it will get me 40,000 miles
but this is not my ways.  I want to fix this right.  Parts suppliers have
any fixes for this one?
