unusual problem i encountered...
replaced the t50 with another box and the rear
driveshaft seal decided to slowly leak...
i didnt really notice it much until driving along
and the box turned into tank mode, people
turning around from up the road to have a look lol,
so bloody noisy and gears almost crunching.
managed to keep it under control using some
techniques and certain gears so managed to get home.
it could have blown up if someone else was driving
it, so my advice is to check your gearbox oil and
seal every so often. i changed the seal, flushed
and changed oil, didnt take long. i think if the
gearstick gets quite hot then oil will be low.
its all sweet now, luckily

If you don't notice that your gearbox is slowing leaking its entire contents, something is wrong.
A 50c pile after a few hours is a big enough reason to spend $5 on a seal.
