TopQ1967 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hi, Is there a gasket between the engine and bellhousing (I guess not)? And between the bellhousing and gearbox? Does it make any difference if the bellhousing is for dry sump or not? At the moment there is a lot of silicone at the gearbox side of the dry-sump bellhousing, therefore my question. Can I find (an exploded view) in any of CC’s books? Engine is K- Series (VVC and R400) gearbox is 6-speed CC.

old captain slow Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 There is a gasket between the bellhousing and gearbox but not between the bellhousing and engine. Just qualify that - that's true on the type 9 gearbox not sure about the 6 speed. C7 CDW Edited by - David W on 30 Mar 2006 08:25:24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted March 30, 2006 Support Team Share Posted March 30, 2006 Gasket not used on 6 speed. Some silicone sealant is used though. Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Howe Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Six speed box does not a gasket as the sliding shaft has its own oilseal/O-ring. For all other boxes a gasket is necessary.

Mick Day Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Type 9 & early 6 speeders need a gasket & a little silicone. Later 6 speeders have an "O" ring on the sliding shaft, early 6 speeders don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
