oil leak
1) get a copy of the factory service manual.
2) buy a replacement rear main seal.
3) follow the instructions in the service manual.
Seriously, you have to pull the gearbox, clutch and flywheel. You'll need to get the torque settings right on everything and you'll need a clutch alignment tool.
It's not a 5 minute job and there's no "quick" way of doing it, only the right way.

x 2. You could probably get by without the clutch alignment tool, but it does make life easier. If you don't align your clutch friction disc back up properly, the gearbox won't back in no matter how hard you try.Gwagensteve wrote:1) get a copy of the factory service manual.

i would pull motor and box out together loosly tighten clutch bolts slide together then once aligned pull apart and tighten. a bit fiddly but does the job. also check gearbox seal while there apart i made the mistake of only doing the rearmain and found out my gearbox seal was rooted too. pull it all out do it again yay
I jotted down a list of things i learnt when i replaced my clutch. (which covers 99% of what your going to experience. Its in the bible somewhere "How to...."
If i new that before i started it would have been alot easier....eg jamming a screwdriver into the flywheel to torque up the clutch housing. I didnt use a alignment tool, makes it more fiddly but easily possible still. Goodluck.
