Tim V-W Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Found in the bottom of the Bell housing. Could it be linked to my oil leak from the same area? Click here Edited by - Tim V-W on 23 Apr 2010 18:31:32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpa Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 This is a clip that goes inside the rubber boot over the clutch cable, where it enters the bellhousing. It's very unlikely to be associated with the leak. Leaks from the bellhousing are usually rear main crank seal or occasionally from the front of the gearbox. Is the oil smelly? If not, then it's probably from the engine.. Alternatively, it could be from the engine or sump and then blown backwards... HTH - Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I took my clip out...............to prevent it falling into the bell-housing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim V-W Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 OK thanks I don't recall seeing it when I replaced the engine so I can only assume that I probably dislodged it when I removed the clutch cable boot to refit the clutch cable. How does it fit into the clutch cable boot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Sits inside it to keep the rubber off the clutch fork .... Like a hoodstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted April 24, 2010 Area Representative Share Posted April 24, 2010 Clip is normally held in rubber boot with a couple of staples and easily falls out. LADS TOP TIP:_ Fasten the clip to the boot with a couple of small cable ties. Paul Richards Area Representative - L.A.D.S.

alextangent Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Oh, I wish I'd thought of that . It's a real struggle getting the 4 speed boot back on with the clip, but it's essential to make it fit the 'ole. Excellent tip Alex McDonald Loud, louder, loudest... 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
