Is yours FUBAR Dave?

yup sounds like it...its dumping it out out through what i think is the input shaft seal. problem is the oil is blacker than oil thats been in a diesel for 50k :s

i just moved it and it noisy as so i think the input bearing has gone which has blown the seal out...or somethihng like that!

and trade me and kempys have nothing.

i could strip it but if the metal has gone through it it could be expensive!

We might as well pull it out and have a look? I'm free sunday if you want.

Bearing and seal didnt cost carsten too much, plus his bearing desintegrating didnt seem to affect the internals at all :?

[Subaru ETA]

cheers mike. i have to find somewhere to do it first. im just concerned about how the oil is looking. but yea, when i find somewhere to do it we can drain the oil and go from there

I have a spare gearset with longer first and second gears if you need it

[Subaru ETA]

sweet, ill just pull it out, strip it, and go from there...problem is, i HATE garboxes!

[bradc]

better than having an auto!

[Subaru ETA]

true that! im more of an engine person....just dont like doing gearboxes

[Gly]

my oil was blacker than a black thing too...

seal was less than $20 from mitsi (its sorta special and i couldnt find a aftermarket seal suitible)
bearing was about $40,

ill help out too if you want a hand,

my box has been fine since *touches wood*

[Gly]

could aways do the evo gearset if its that bad?

[Subaru ETA]
