I’ve just ordered the Ashcroft kit after my clutch packed up yesterday, while I’m in there I may as well replace the shaft!
I’m a little confused about the source / route the oil takes to lubricator the coupling. Does the kit contain a new gearbox output seal which allows a quantity of oil to enter the coupling? Otherwise I don’t understand how the oil actually migrates from the gearbox to the coupling if the seal prevents any leaks? |

2 splines and slots on the face (aligned with the splines) have been removed to allow oil to pass through.
What I do not know is how much oil will pass through. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |

I think I missed this before. Yes I think so. I have to be honest and say that I pretty much let the mechanic get on with it. I thought it might be quite a 2 person job at times, but it really wasn't. So, after hanging about quite a bit, I just got on with some other bits and was just available if needed (which I wasn't). I guessed it was around an hour between getting to the housing, and then the point where it was back in again, but I could be wrong. That would have included replacement of the oil seals and the removal/fitment of the transfer shaft cup. Either way, to pick up on co1's question, yes definitely fine with 1 person, and working on the ground. My guy just used a trolley jack to help him lower the transfer box. It's a few hours to do. As blackwolf said, if you know what you're doing it's probably a lot quicker than in my experience. |
