ph1 172 / 172 cup gearbox/driveshaft seal difference

[leew88]

Above iv put cup shaft (to match subframe) on my ph1 and when iv dropped it off the jack its pissed oil overnight from the shaft/box seal

is there any difference brtween the 2 or is mine a dud

 

[Budgie]

No difference between the boxes in that area.

My bet is the seal just isn't seated properly,

 

[leew88]

Il loosnen and retry hopefuly itll seal up,gearbox hasnt turned since that oil went in il cry if i have to dump it

 

[leew88]

Tried loosening all 3 bolts and retightening evenly and looks like il have to take the seal out completely its still leaking

has anyone got a pic of the gaitor mounted? It looks like theirs a slight gap at the back of the metal bracket and the gearbox but the bolt holes all.appear to be flush

You might have pinched the seal perhaps. Maybe need a new one, they're only around £3-4 from Renault.

 

[leew88]

A right ballache to change id imagine,il get it off tomorrow and have another look-work halted play today

Metal clamp the proper way around? Ie the rounded sticking out side towards gearbox not the other way around ?

Managed to get a hour in the garage,seal wasnt seated right as budgie said, i hope its now sealed and not leaking because i dont have enough oil lol
