Good morning Listers
Okay, I have taken the interior out and undone all of the bolts from the
bell housing and supported the engine. The problem is, how do I get the
gearbox clear of the prop-shaft to pull it out? The workshop manual states
I should lift the engine with the jack and wood block so the until the rear
flange clears the shaft. It would seem I have to put a fair amount of lift
on the sump to achieve this, is this right??
My second issue is when I cracked the seal between the bell housing and the
engine oil came out the bottom, Since I am not loosing oil in the engine
yes big surprise ), and the oil in the engine is new and fresh I suspect
that the oil is from the gearbox itself because it looked very dark and old,
which would explain a lot. No 2nd gear, clutch not fully disengaging from
oil contamination etc. How hard is it to replace the oil seal in the
gearbox?
As always thanks in advance
