Selector shaft oil seal
Hi All, I need to replace the selector shaft oil seal on my 82 1275 clubman. I would like to purchase a new one before removing the old one because I need to use the car. Can anyone tell me what the sizes are of this seal? Thanks in advance

The pin is a roll-pin, so it should go in and out either way. You need to use a thin piece of steel (a small drill bit should do it) slightly smaller in diameter than the pin to drift it out. Thats the theory. In reality it can be a pain, and you may well end up destroying the pin, so make sure you have a spare. Make sure the car is supported high enough and securely enough to work underneath - I always use axle stands AND a trolley jack - you really dont want a mini engine sitting on your face!

Thanks Tim, Im not really looking forward to doing it.I was told to put the car into reverse,is this best or doesnt it make any difference.

I cant remember which gear I used but it should be obvious when you get underneath which way you need to go. The other problem if I recall is stopping the linkage vibrating when you whack the pin - you need to try and wedge a piece of wood behind it otherwise youre wasting your time. I have to confess I gave up with mine and drilled it out!

Clutch primary oil seal
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to remove the primary oil seal without removing the housing that it fits into from the engine?
Step by step instructions would be nice. Clutch is already removed.

yes, just dig it out, but when re fitting a new seal, put tape around the primary gear to protect the seal when refitting the replacement.

I read in the Haynes manual that you can pull on the primary gear to remove the seal.
Digging the seal out sounds a little crude and I don't want to damage it's housing. Can anyone confirm the Haynes method? I didn't think the primary gear would fit through the oil seal aperture?

Digging it out wont harm anything as long is you dont grizzlyit. and to fit the seal cut a plastic coke bottle than a slit on the side so the plastic can eclose and open rub a bit of oil on it and ream the seal in with a rubber hammer.

Thanks for the advice.
Job is done now. I have the tool for fitting the seal so getting the new one in was easy.

Leaking oil clutch seal in a pre A-series 1380cc - help!
Hello
Just ran my newly built 1380cc (pre A-series) on the rolling road and notice oil dripping from the clutch cover drain hole. l fiited the engine with the uprated MS oil seal and the engine also has two large breathers from the rocker cover and the transfer gear housing.
l must admit that l did over fill it with oil and will be running it again this weekend to check if reducing the oil will cure it.
Has anyone else had the same problem? If so can it be cured without replacing the oil seal?
Thanks in advance.

Rear hub oil seal
I am replacing my rear wheel bearings with the tapered variety and when it comes to replacing the oil seal the Haynes manual says fit the oil seal with the lips facing outwards! Is this correct and what is the reason for it as it goes against everything that i have experienced over the years?

By "outwards" I think they mean facing away from the bearing. You need the groove and spring on the inside face next to the bearing and the flat face showing towards the swinging arm. That way the felt pad sits on the flat rubber face rather than disappearing inside it.

Felt pads used to be used prior to the introduction of rubber/plastic oil seals i don't know that they need to be used together!

Gearbox Rod Change Anti Oil Leak Seal Kit
GEARBOX ROD CHANGE ANTI OIL LEAK SEAL KIT MSSK050 How hard is it to install this? Does anyone have pictures of how to install this? Thanks, Description This kit consists of one alloy sleeve with a groove on the outside to locate the O ring, the new "O" ring, a rod seal and a gaiter. To fit the kit simply remove the old gaiter if fitted and then the old oil seal. Fit the sleeve with the "O"ring fitted and slide over the rod into the gearbox.If the car was already fitted with a sleeve, remove old one before replacing and then fit the main seal. The dust cover fits up against the seal to prevent road debris getting at the seal.

It's as simple as it sounds, but you need to get the car well up in the air to give access to the gear linkage. The only tricky bit is drifting out the roll pin that holds the gear linkage together
