Subject:Bus work in the barn and Tiny O Ring on Differential

Hey Volks:  Check out my pics of some trans/diff work up in the barn today :

Wondering what the little O ring is called located on the differential -
under the cover plate that goes around the pinion. The Bentley makes no
mention of it in the 2.1 Automatic section on 29.50 and 39.51.

 When ordering parts, I asked a lot of questions and thought I had all the
seals/gaskets in the kits and individual orders but this little guy is not
around. Kind of stopped us in our tracks as I don't want to use a 21 year
old O ring over again. Do I have to get that at the dealer?

Either way, was a fun bus day in the barn. More work to come.

Anyway
Pete
