Gearbox swap

[Jaym]

A fair few guys will be familiar with what im going to discuss here from my previous posts..

My gearbox is leaking oil ( 5 SP Man ). After many opinions on what it could be seems the most popular is input shaft seal. However alot of mech's / enthusiasts have said very unusual for the seal to be leaking..

One mechanic inspected the gearbox and found a chunk taken off one of the fins on the underside of the gearbox, meaning it had been hit by something or even mounted a kerb. I had a look myself and it did not quite appear like the damage was reflected on such a collision ( mounting a kerb ) but there was damage to the fin. said you may fix the seal and it may still leak.. he recommended a reconditioned gearbox.

Can anyone suggest anything on this.. Im starting to pull my hair out!!!!!!!!

The gearbox in the 1.3 is diff to the 1.5

but with that said, if there is nothing wrong with your existing box (e.g not grinding, making noise, etc), why replace it?

IMO just take the car to a gearbox specialist and get it looked at.

Probably not to find a leak, if its even coming from the gearbox.

and besides, this way you KNOW the gearbox is in good condition, you arent taking a gamble on a used box.

Well its Definately thin clear transmission oil pooling at the lower mounting bolts..

ive had it looked at several times, and its not coming from the driveshaft seals.

it couldnt possibly be leaking from anywhere bar from within the bellhousing of the box..

Once it leaks from within side the bell housing.. it pools in the bottom and leaks down

Guys,

see Latest post.. Finally swapped gearbox

[rob323]

Probably too late, but I wouldn't spend more than $200 on a second hand box (hell I bought a 1NZFE and a gearbox for $500), and there is no way you can recondition one and sell it for $500 and make a profit. The main bearings and a couple of synchros alone in mine cost $500 and my labour was free.
