Finally!! long nose pliers & a good hard tug (oooer) got the speed sensor out

but...... the diaphram springs are covered in a film of black oil.

is this bad?

Its ok as long as it doesn't get worse and makes the clutch slip. But since you have the gearbox out it would be smart to fix it now. Take the clutch of the flywheel and then take the flywheel of the engine. Have a look at the crankshaft oilseal Thats problebly where your leak is.

ah, right, think that was mentioned that before, is it just a case of gouging out te old seal & pressing in the new?

Bramdeman · Post by **Bramdeman** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 10:23 pm

Yeah should be, pull out the old one and carefully hammer in the new onee. Grease it up with motoroil first.

The seals are not that easy to remove.

Best thing is to screw a self tapping screw into the flat part of the seal, then use a claw bar, or claw hammer to gently pry the seal out. It may take a few goes, but it's less messy than trying to mangle the seal with a screwdriver. IT's also less likely to scratch the part of the crankshaft the seal runs on (that would not do the new seal any good).

PLEASE tell me ther arent 2 sizes/pitches of splined drive shaft that fit into the gear box. (off side)

been wrestling with this gearbox all afternoon & have barely got any skin left on my arms, I just cant get the drive shaft to engage.

help

The splies are set so it is possible to be 180 degrees out. Turn the driveshaft half a turn and try again.

I'm sure i tried that, but arm fatigue may have affected my brain so will give it another go

cheers you

I've never had a problem with them. They slide on pretty easy. Maybe worth checking the splines haven't been dropped and bashed about?
Not sure about different sizes though. Good luck.

got the box in, in about 3 minutes on saturday, dunno what went wrong the other day, i must have just been being crap,

the shaft doesnt have to be orientated in any way whats so ever, exept obviously you want the holes to line up.
