Horse25 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I cant fill up my gearbox from the side as my tunnel hasnt been modified at all and i cant reach it, so i was told i can fill it up via the gearstick but takes fucking ages, so i jacked the back of the car up, with drive shaft etc refitted, then started filling, then i came back tonight and found a huge fucking oil puddle everywhere under my car and it had been leaking out the rear where the drive shaft enters, so is it the rear seal or the way i have gone about things? its a T9 gearbox, if it is the seal is it possible to change, with the gearbox in the car, because i really don't want to take the cunt out again! Any help would be much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 if youve just had the driveshaft out then its likely the seal needs changing there real easy to damage if your not carfull and yes its doable on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are talking about a single rail, 5 speed Ford gearbox. If so the first question is: Did it leak before hand or have you never had oil in it? The next question is: Have you driven the car (or whatever it is as you have not told us much) prior to this issue> I ask as it is possible that the driveshaft nose it the incorrect size. The Ford Type 9 is not well suited for filling from the gearlever hole but if currently have no choice then I suggest drilling an access hole in your transmission tunnel and blanking it off with a rubber grommet. If the rear mainshaft seal is damaged it can be replaced without removing the gearbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Horse25 - it looks like you have one of Ford's special non draining gearboxes (i.e. no drain bung). They were a shit idea and the savings Ford made are well exhausted by my hatred of such a ridiculous cost cutting measure. For about $35 you can get a Groz Syringe from Repco. That will make your life a whole heap better, especially when you go to drain your diff and you find that it doesn't have a drain bung either. The Groz is great for filling diffs and gearboxes too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblegoose Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 make sure the new one goes in square and use some oil on the drive shaft when putting it back in you should be fine oh and don't hit the seal in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
