Well I got a pretty obvious signal from the gearbox that I didnt put the seal in deep enough for the conical inner lip to mate to the input shaft, blue drips on the garagefloor.
So I pulled the gearbox out and will try again tomorrow. Luckily I ordered a few extra seals since they were quite cheap. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/matsgarage.com-15176-1492877335.1.jpg) Left one is an Elring Klinger that I got from a Swedish Porsche parts dealer. The right one is a Kaco brand that I got from the closest Porsche dealership. The last one I put in was the Kaco brand. Now I'm thinking of using the Elring instead. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/matsgarage.com-15176-1492877336.2.jpg) Elring left, Kaco right. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/matsgarage.com-15176-1492877337.3.jpg) Elring is the smooth one and Kaco is the ribbed one. The only other difference that wont show in pictures is that if I pinch the inner lip of the Kaco brand its much stiffer than the Elring which is more pliable. So tomorrow I'll pop one in and drive it in deeper than last time when it just cleared the guide tube. Any other advice? Lube or dry outside? |
