clutch slipping
« on: 13 February 2008, 17:10 »
Hi
Have a little problem with my car,the car drives fine but when i go around a corner and and then straighten up again the clutch starts to slip real bad.Also i have noteced gear oil all around the casing could this cause my problem, and where is the oil likely to be coming from?

i think they call it an input shaft seal...quite common failure i believe!! and it fits behind the clutch in the box side!

seal on the output shaft as said-check to see if its not the oil from the driveshaft seals as these leak too and will run down to the lowest point -being the bottom off the bellhousing
