Hi All,
I have a persistent oil leak which is coming from the front of the gearbox on my 1990 HZJ75 Troop Carrier, H55F gearbox.
I've now pulled the gearbox 4 times to try and find the source of the leak and fix it. the leak is showing up at the bottom of the bell housing. So far I have tried:
- Attempt 1 - New input shaft seal & Bearing cover gasket
- Attempt 2 - New input shaft seal & Bearing cover gasket with RTV on the gasket
- Attempt 3 - Replacing the gasket with Permatex 'The Right Stuff'
- Attempt 4 - Replacing the top gear shiftier cover gasket as I thought it could have been coming through there and running down the front of the gearbox.
It's not leaking through the input shaft seal as the tube the clutch fork runs on is dry on the inside, and is definitely gear oil as it is not black like the engine oil and has the distinctive gear oil smell.
Has anyone out there had similar issues which they were able to solve, or has other advice around this area? I would really prefer to not have to change out the clutch again due to it being oil soaked.
Thanks!
Marcel
