My car has had one of the drive shaft lips seals leaking for some time (not quite the 5 years I have had the car) so it is something I have always meant to get around to. The leak has now picked up the pace a bit (gearbox was topped up a little while back to compensate) I will need to move it up the list to 'very soon' especially in light of below. To put it into perspective I would probably have the odd single drop left on the garage floor per car ride which is now a few drops every time. My original clutch (26yrs old and 27k miles) has now started slipping since the clutch slave cylinder started leaking and was subsequently replaced with a new part (it is in the wars) so the gearbox will need to come out anyway. What little rubber gaskets and other seals should I order so that I can ensure I have no leaks in the future (from the gear box at least)? My gearbox changes okay, but is a little notchy and the little rubbers for the linkages that ensure a quiet, slick silent change could also benefit from changing. Any suggestions on anything else that should be replaced or worked on whilst the clutch/gearbox are out of the car? Thanks in advance Chris Hawes #5255 No virus found in this incoming message.
