other bits to change while box is off

[jacks906]

reeto got me gearbox off to get flywheel skimmed and put another new clutch in

is there anything worth changing while its out

the seal on the back of the of the engine is wheaping very slightly not noticable with engine oil loss nor is there oil everywhere in the bell housing so do i just leave it as its not really p1ssin out

anything else work a change?

oils getting done while its apart too

cheers

change it while you have the chance or oil may get on the new clutch & you'll be doing it all again very soon

[jacks906]

one bit to put on the shopping list then

also is it worth new bolts on the flywheel and PP? and do you know the compound used to keep the flywheel bolts tightened up? as they were FT and it wasnt standard thread lock

cheers

spigot bearing

clutch fork if its not a v8 or the old one isn't reinforced

[western]

if the bolts are not damaged, clean them & refit, IIRC it's a 200Tdi you have if so the flywheel bolts need to be torqued to 147Nm no mention of threadlocking compound in the workshop manual. possible new bolts come pre impregnated with the thread locking compound.

& as roy has mentioned replace both too.

change the oil seal. i bought a 110 with not gearbox so could not test it properly. seal looked ok so i did not change it. got the gearbox on. put seat box and all the flooring in. got it up to temperature for the first time and it has started leaking. such a pain. well you learn from your own mistakes. cheers

mines a 300tdi western is that the same practice reg's bolts yet, yet to look at tourque figs have to find that mannual

changed the fork with the chassis swap a month ago only whish this problem was acuring then may have been slightly easier, also poping a new bearing in as the just incase of any contamination in the last month

Hi Dave

While its in bits is a good time to drill and tap the top of the bellhousing for a breather without getting swarf everywhere so you can leave the wading plug in,
