Gearbox leak.

[JoshOm3]

Also another thread here, but this is about my gearbox.

Have a slight little leak, only very small. Anyway i took it to a bloke by me, real good reputation with boxs and he said : As i change gear a rod moves up through the box, and on top theres a small rubber boot. Thats split and leaking. He said that on other cars there arnt welded in but these are so it would be a strip the box down job and could be around 300 sheets.! :.

Now that isnt word for word of what came out of his mouth but you get the jist ?

So my question, Is he right or wrong ? I wouldnt know myself so hopefully someone can make sense of this.

Thanks, Josh.

Is it weaping out of the selector shaft? If so don't worry about it, they all do it nothing really to worry about unless its excessive.

he's sort of correct, but you can get a repair kit that means it can be fixed in situ for about £80 fitted
