Car is back on the road again after a number of setbacks,the main issue was a leaking input shaft seal on the gearbox,my fault as I assumed the seal was ok and was told the same by the PO.
I can't complain as firstly I thought it was the RMS leaking which was new when I resealed the engine,I do however have some "sweating @ the case join near the seal,have a plan for that. Dodged a bullet here as the oil had reached the clutch disk but cleaned off ok with brake cleaner,I had a seal installer I made for a type 1 VW box and it worked perfectly,the old seal cracked up when I was removing it ,looked totally original (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . The gearbox shifting is a work in progress,I had now idea what a PITA it would be to get right,the rear rod provided with the car was really crappy so I repaired the welds and made it straight,this as many have pointed out isn't correct,Perry was kind enough to supply me with the details and I bent some offset into it seemed to help. I was never very happy with the fit of the plastic rear bush so sometime back I ordered a bronze/lead one,some careful work with a file and I was able to open out the hole .5mm ,appears these are supplied oversize to allow for wear. IMO these are a must have item for a side shifter and @ $14 are good value. Every drive I have in this car gets better as I fine tune various things,really impressed with the power of the engine,can't help but wonder what a 3.2 or 3.6 would drive like...... |
