Leak by shifter on 2003 lakota

[tjakes680]

Hey guys I just picked up a 2003 Kawasaki Lakota 300 sport last night i noticed today the foot gear  shifter was loose so I tightened it a drop now i see a leak  right around where the shaft  goes in trans.Is this a easy fix? Is there anything I can use temporarily to seal it Im sure it would get less in the colder weather or maybe with a thicker oil may slow it up so is there a temp fix for now ??

Sounds like the seal is bad and tightening it made it worse. I would probably try and replace the seal.

I actually had a box of metric seals and i kind of slid it in because the seal was deff missing when i put shifter down it would move so slitly probably where seal goes so i put a seal on it and it slid right in hopefully it stays but im going take it appart soon and do it the right way if it leaks again thanks for responding!! Next I have the recoil starter to put back in I have the spring and wheel so i need the rope amd to take off cover and actually see whats in there lol Its a pretty good quad so far Obviously the blue one the red one is my never die 86 Quadrunner
