MereCat Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hi all  Does anyone know if this is required when fitting a 6spd CC box ? here Having spoken to the very helpful chaps at Redline they seem to think its not required. Just wanted to get your thoughts before I take out the old unit ( not the misses 😬) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubbster Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I don't think it is needed on the 6 speed - just the little O seal around the little shaft that pokes out at the top of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MereCat Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks for this. One potential issue eliminated then, although keen to know if this makes a difference and if anyone has fitted it ? O seal ...Yep that's the other problem ..... Posted on wanted section as my order for the seal has not appeared so now need to find one...   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewGP Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I didn't fit it when I put my 'box back on the bellhousing, just a good lot of clear silicone sealant (esp round the 'o' ring) and squished the whole lot back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MereCat Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Ian Thanks for this. So lots of sealant with the o seal or just loads of sealant? Good news is package was delivered to wrong address so I have all that I need 😬 Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Day Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Early 6-speed gearboxes (mines from 1996) did not have the O ring. So I use the gasket, plus silicone around the "little shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
