Does this setup work? I know there are people out there using this setup, but I can't seem to get mine to work.
To put it simply, I'm on my 4th gearbox in just over a month, and it's starting to not only get expensive but rather annoying as changing the gearbox is a rather big task. In all my gearboxes they suffer from oil leaks (fixable with a lot of silicone), and then the loss of 2nd, 4th and/or 5th.
In my latest box I have a custom input shaft seal (to sit it closer to the box, the stock seal doesn't seal against the input shaft because of the taper), and I'm using two spacers on the input shaft bearing and no spacer on the layshaft bearing. That seems to space it out about the same as the stock T bellhousing.
I would suspect bearing end float on the layshaft to be a problem, but I can't fit any spacers on the layshaft bearing at all, and even without a spacer it already sits very snugly anyway. Also with the circlips in place on the layshaft there shouldn't be too much end float?
I've tried running all sorts of oil from DextronIII to 80/90 and even tried the oil treatment stuff...
Anyone have any idea?
