Garage / Re: 5 speed leak
« Last post by FourLoti on Friday,May 03, 2024, 01:16:11 PM »No experience with case seam leaks, but my 5-speed was leaking from two (3) sources. First, the speedometer cable drive gear fitting, and the other two were the left and right driveshaft output seals/o-rings. Seema as if any of those could have been disturbed or maladjusted in a rebuild?
Maybe hose off the box with a can of brake cleaner and then wait to see where the next drip(s) come from? They make UV detection dye that is supposed to be compatible with gear lube, but hopefully it will be obvious based on where the spots develop on the cardboard.
