    Possible gearbox leak fix..... seems to work!

    I was a bit fed up with the stupid leak, even the TND fix wasn't able to get it even reduced a little. So as in my case it couldn't get much worse i decided to see if i could do anything to improve the design. The two parts that you put arround the shaft are not rubber but hard plastic so it...

    Im going to get the clutch replaced on the sunflower. But which of the gaskets could i get replaced on the gearbox to get over the shaft leakage.

    Wanted to go with a full renault setup at first but it was to much of a hassle. A bracket had to be made for every option i came across (with 300mm discs). Since a bracket had to be made anyway why not go for a much nicer setup ! ;) Decided to go for this : Brembo 300mm x 24mm (scenic) Discs...

    I am going to replace the brake lines with some new braided ones. The only thing i don't want to bother with is the bleeding part and let that be done by my local garage wich is 300-400 meters away.
