MSB Reverse Gear Workshop manual
My reverse gear is leaking oil on my CD28 MD7A and I suspect the oil seal needs to be replaced. I am trying to find the workshop manual before I attempt to disassemble. Any one have a PDF available? It seems this is a very expensive unit and I want to be 100% sure this is a do it yourself fix.

keep in mind several things-if you intend to pull the motor and gear box and your gearbox is 15-20 years old-you might as well replace the clutch plates and shifting fork as well-however-I found it very difficult to locate someone who can work on these gear boxes-I sent mine to a company that advertised heavily-they broke it getting it apart-put it back together-painted it green charged me $2,700 and shipped it back where it failed several months later-I ended up buying a new one-
Only a volvo gearbox will fit a volvo motor-so if your gear box goes and you can't find one-you must replace the motor and the gearbox-
they are difficult to find-a new one sometimes can be had through a dealer who has access to the main Volvo warehouse-people who can work on them are even more difficult to find-there is an old timer in Fla who helped me out and I probably have his info some where-but I was told a minor oil leak was not a big problem as on mine its a "splash" lubrication and there always will be some oil in the pan-I was told it was very difficult to get one of these gearboxes apart without breaking it-
