Is there a seal up high on a 5speed zuk gearbox, near where the gear stick enters??

I am getting a bit of oil on the sides of the gearbox tunnel :?

Check the usual leaks near the dizzy housing and around the switches on the top of the box. remember oil runs everywhere and may not be only from the gearstick hole.


cheers

I get heaps of oil leak out of my 5 speed box. Comes out the shifter hole when the car is on a whacky angle.

Apparently you can install a breather into the shift housing and will help rectify the problem

That is what I thought it was as not a scrap a oil leaking from any where else dizzy, cam/crank seals etc. Didn't want to suggest it myself though as thought maybe a bit out there.................................

Thanks sierrajim :D

Do gearboxes have a breather at all??

Hey Nicbeer got my 31's and exhaust tube snorkle fitted. Hopefully post up pics tonight!!
