Member Jonathan Kay Posted February 25, 2018 Member Share Posted February 25, 2018 Was this about the problem of sealing around the selector shaft? Discussed here.More generally... from the archives.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Reeves Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 https://www.lotus7.club/forum/techtalk/oil-leak-gearbox-area?page=3Oh how that takes mwe back...I looked up your link JK and of course found my little gem and indeed Garths comments which is interesting as we took his gearbox etc out last weekend. Mine ended up with the engine/box out after all the postings and found a seal knackered from new and nothing to do with me...So Garth we must remember to put in seal when your box comes back !!
