Few problems with leaking fluid.
Have tried to get seal to fit up a bit better to output shaft - but just went out side and checked
and its dripped a little already, after putting only 200ml or so of fluid in :(
The gearbox is on quite an extreme downward angle, as have not sorted rear X-member yet
but still think there is an issue. gutted as I dont want to have to remove my gearbox, as its
all mounted up now, and I have engine all running, and finished fitting shifter & pedals.
in fact all thats left to do was to bolt up the drive shaft, and fit clutch cable, before road test.

If anyone has a replacement rear housing/seal to suit a 56A 4 speed, that is in good nic, let me know
as this is the only thing really holding me up, as making X-member mount up on friday.

yeah the drive shaft was pretty pitted ah Bart
I wire wheeled the surface rust/scales back then 400 wet n' dried it.
but it was not grooved as such, just reasonably consistant 'pitting' around it

thought it would be OK, but if cant hold oil when its static, not looking good
for it starts rotating!

trademe....
they are 6.5" wide which is great. as hard to find anything wider than 6" thats not
going for drug money. and the extra half inch gives the nice sized lip (and no curbage!)
full set of matching yokohama 185/55/14's with like 6mm tread. different but nice
and better than crusty hot wires I was thinking about putting on ah!

I priced up 195/45's to put on my techno racing rims (the ones that are on my coupe)
to "borrow" for a while to roll the Y around on, and that was going to cost me more than
what these rims & tyres cost, and better yet I can pick them up as they are in Ash Vegas

Just googled auto-bahn wheels, these are actually made by WEDS :D

so must be a half decent wheel, and they look in mint condition

Think they will look sweet on the old Y once its slammed :mrgreen:
