Gearbox, Clutch, Flywheel & Crank Seal

While getting access i noticed a few parts ready for the powder coaters to have a look at before its too late.


1hr 40 later the gearbox finally allowed me to look at its inards, and it wasn't good. Looks like the oil was leaking for a long time and the oil inside the bell housing was solid....time for the wirebrush. 
Here is the old clutch

Now the cause of all the oil leaks in the first place was a failed seal on the crank seal, and it looks like the oil has contaminated the flywheel as well, so that is going to get sent away for a surface reface and a mild amount of lightening.

Forgot to do a before and after but this is after 40 minutes of cleaning

This is a close up of the buildup of oil inside the bell housing. As you can see by the line at the bottom, its grond on....joy
50 minutes later

Back to the offending crank seal, here we are with a genuine brand new crank seal

Flywheel back from resurface


Diff and drive shaft seals replace and now back on with the box.
