Cheers and thanks in advance.

G'day Wayne, I have the tools for putting the seals back in if you need them. I assume you are talking about the crank seals?

Andrew.

(EDIT) And getting them out.

Yes please Andrew! I'll be doing the rear main at GCDDI too...

Are you going to come along and have a bo peep?

And you can pick up a nice new tight seal at Mazda or Repco

Hi there..

The seal I am talking about is the one at the BACK of the motor between it and the gear box (is that right ??) So I just need to order one from Mazdaland ??

Okies.. thanks guys... Will I need anything else ? Gaskets etc ??

Cheers

Beer - there must be beer - and none of that dodgy local stuff - for gearbox removal and replacement it must be good beer

Having fought with a gearbox and won, I know.

Did it ever!

Uncle Arthur's good at humping gearbox. He doesn't actually get them on too well, but he will hump, grab and shake em while swearing like a sailor :lol:

It was more like the swear keg - how else do you think I was able to afford the turbo conversion?

I changed one at the track on the weekend between races.

Took 2 hours to rip out the gearbox change the seal and put it all back together. Not fun with a hot car and limited time to compete the job. :evil:
