dini_the_owl Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 No ive not shot the missus but she nearly shot me today when she walked in from work to find my 6spd on the floor.......Omg I sneaked a day off to do my gear selector seal and rear Prop seal. Something thats been slowly leaking for ages only a drop nown and then but i had to take the plunge,no way on this earth it can be done with the box in or bodging another on top so its out,shes been off the road since end of november so its no grief. The selector seal is one tight mother to come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dini_the_owl Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 I thought it may be benificial to those who would try this as ive not seen any pics on this topic also. Apart from the gearbox itself,the seal change isnt too bad,ill post pics up of the rear seal being done as you need to use a puller in order to take off the prop end, i did find the selector seal an absolute bitch to get out, i can see why some people just tap in the new seal on top of the old, and im tempteed myself to put two new ones in, seems a bit overkill but hey i hate seeing my g/box on the floor! The worst thing here is to try and pierce the plastic on the seal and kind of flick it out without scoring the sides of the seal hole.i tried getting a small screwdriver down the back of the metal outer and it pushed the bloody thing all the way down so it makes it ten times more difficult to get out, personally i didnt think they would sit back that far. i had previously replaced the rear seal for the prop but im going to do that at the same time, originally i had thought it was that seal which had gone hense why i replaced it, but after a few miles it seemed quite apparent that it was not that seal. any pics you want let me know and ill drop em in this thread to help andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
