Coming along nicely gops!
Thanks Rav! Come down to see it one day!
Had such a long weekend on this car. Dad and I started to remove the gearbox a week or so ago, and on Saturday we managed to remove the gearbox with great effort to reveal a complete **** up of which was my fault!
It’s clear as day it’s coming from the shaft… but I then found:
I didn’t fit the ****** seal! And yes I slapped myself for making this mistake! The seal came off with the old sleeve so I didn’t fit it on the new one…
So fitting the new seal:
I fitted the guide I removed as it did no miles, just cleaned it up. The clutch is fine and so is the friction plate with no oil on it at all. So with that fitted we’ve put back the gearbox which is never easy but my dad is a right soldier and we’ve managed to get it back in secured to the mounts and front shafts back in! We did find a small leak on the rear diff however I can’t see where this is coming from, it could be we installed the seal incorrectly, but that can wait. I’ll get that off another day.
Next week, I’ll have the new thermostat, new pipe to the oil cooler and coolant temp sensor. Will also assemble the car back together and hopefully get it driving. I need to bleed the brakes and clutch before I do that so I’m off to buy the sealey bleeder!
