Thats what i was thinking DaveK!!

Thanks for the reply Its all a bit over my head, so i am going to break it down a bit more. The haynes manual said make alignment marks when you remove the props at each end so they go back into the same bolt holes, I have only removed the prop and then replaced it. My dad removed the marks to...

I have had this issue in the last few weeks, I did replace the whole clutch system but on completion also found that the slave cylinder had failed. Start with replacing the slave, and then work back.

Evening Removed the flywheel today, Those bolts are fun:rolleyes: Cleaned the rear of the bell housing and removed the old seal and gasket, What product should i use to seal those nuts again? Mick

Thanks guys, Crankshaft rear seal is on order and added to the ever growing list of jobs, sometimes I think I am just looking for ways not to have to lift that box back up, I would rather raise the Titanic. Thanks again

Hi again, reference my last few questions, could the reason for all the oils/grease in the bell housing be due to a failed crankshaft rear oil seal???? Should I replace this anyway. Thanks

Thanks big Lad, Found the clips and bits they are now on order. Just need to know about that greasy bell housing, Normal for a 13 year old motor ? or signs of another issue?

Evening, I have a few more questions i would like your opinion on before I reattach the gear box for peace of mind. Inside the bell housing and behind the flywheel part of the housing I found it about 1 mm thick with black sticky oil/grease along with the bits of smashed bearing plastic. My...

Thanks gents, the box is now off, It was the Bearing that had gone, Bits of plastic all over the place, Also got to replace the exhaust as it look like someone had been shooting it with an AK47, How they passed the mot on it I will never know.

Hi all I have been under there all day, I have had the prop off and it seems fine,I drove it with the prop off for about ten meters and the clunk was louder when i lifted off the clutch, and seemed to be coming from the main gear box housing, I did notice that the transfer gear stick was also...
