Leaky selector

[DomP182]

The leak from my gear box selector seal has become ridiculous, I cant decide whether to buy a good secondhand box and swap it, get it out and repaired or wait for it to go pop. The latter will take a long time as I barely drive it but the trails it is leaving on my drive is getting annoying.

As it's so bad would the Febi repair part be a good interim measure?

I would only suggest replacing the seal.
That’ll mean the gearbox has to be stripped and prob end up being a refurb while your there .
Weigh up costs of that vs a second hand box I guess.

Personally I would get a properly refurbished box from @NorthloopCup mate. The car deserves it and the work you have put in to it, would absolutely be worthwhile!
As a side note you need to get yourself along to the cliosport C&M day out! Get the love back for the old girl!

Go on the @NorthloopCup , how much would a recon box set me back?

Get the box rebuilt, most 2nd hand gearboxes will be of similar drippy seal

My box has had part of the clutch bracket welded back on so not the best donor really.

I’ll drop you a pm mate. And the clutch bracket welding isn’t an issue. I can just replace the upper half of the casing when it’s apart.

172 or 182 btw?
