Hi, Give the folks at Transmission Marine, Inc in Fort Lauderdale, FL a call. These folks specialize in Paragon repairs, rebuilds, and parts. I have purchased replacement paragon parts from them and found the prices very reasonable. I have also called them a few times and had pleasant chats on issues from types of transmission oils to basic transmission adjustments and rebuilds. The Paragon transmissions are pretty basic so you may be able to do the work yourself.
Recall that the LF38 use a combo Paragon transmission with a Walter V-drive. Are you sure that it is the Paragon that is leaking? I was told by the folks at TMI to carefully align the prop shaft collar to the v-drive as a misalignment will cause undue wear on the V-drive shaft seal resulting in a leaking V-drive unit. Also, below is a link to my write up on adjusting the Paragon. It does not discuss leaks but it does have photos of the Paragon internals. http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/2016/03/paragon-transmission-slippage.html - Paul E. 1981 C&C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Fort Walton Beach, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > On Jun 29, 2017, at 12:00 PM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 06:59:20 -0700 > From: "Frank" <n...@comcast.net <mailto:n...@comcast.net>> > To: "List Stus" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> > Subject: Stus-List Paragon Transmission Repair > Message-ID: <EF71CDFE9B2C4BC5A5024FD81CE87C7A@N7FNLenovo> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > The Paragon transmission in my C&C 38LF is leaking about 1/2 pint of oil in > four running hours. > Doesn?t leak when not running. > Does anyone know of a repair facility that works on the old Paragon > transmissions? > The data plate on the transmission indicates: 9844 SAOD Z-7970. > Thanks, > > Frank Noragon > S/V: Cool Change > C&C 38LF, s/n: 001 > Rose City Yacht Club > Portland, Oregon
