Looking for a drive shaft boot in the UK for the above. Don’t see one listed with Gusibits…they are available from outside the UK.
Any advice?
I needed to replace both the engine and gearbox seals. I am a novice and wonder if there is anything else I should consider before putting it together again.?
It’s worthwhile changing the main gear lever return spring whilst you are in there plus have a good look at the state of the clutch plate for wear. Make sure it is well within limits as it is not a job you want to do too often.
You could also check the gearbox shimming whilst you are in there, I did mine a few years ago and didn’t notice a lot of difference. Details here, they will also help with the general stripping and rebuilding
Thanks for your reply…I think my message gave the impression I was a novice mechanic. All I was trying to say was I am not familiar with the engine and gearbox and those in the know often, as you have done, give decent advice. The clutch is good.Found a loose nut in the gbox . Gusibits are on holiday I think.
The part number is 18548000 for the rear disc brake T3 it is available at Gutsibits when they are back from there hols.
A loose nut doesn’t sound good, I assume it hasn’t done any damage.
Thanks again……re the nut, it was just a question of time. I dread to think what the consequences would have been when it eventually dropped off. The oil leak was lucky for me ;).
Hi i believe stein-dense in Germany have these! .
I would consider replacing the universal -joint support bearing in the swinging arm while its all apart & the thrust bearing on the clutch pushrod while access is easy- also grease the clutch operating arm as well! as the pivot is prone to seizing up i can recommend ali-slip grease for this!
