As I’m still waiting for a few parts to arrive before putting everything back together (minus the final drive) I decided to clean up the transmission tonight. One of the parts I’m waiting for is the input shaft seal. I’m also waiting for new flywheel bolts.
The transmission looks a lot better now! The black seal around the splined input shaft is the one that will be replaced, along with the main rear seal on the crankshaft, the felt seal on the clutch pushrod and seal on the pushrod piston. I hope that solves all of the leaking problems!
The transmission oil has been drained, so I’m going to pull the neutral switch and see if I can seal the switch with epoxy, something similar to what’s described here.
Most if this clutch dust and oil cleaned up easily with brake cleaner and/or kerosene. For some reason the bottom center section was hard to clean, the crud didn’t want to dissolve.
