Technical  Chirping clutch

Technical  Chirping clutch

I went for another trip, theres no leak from the driveshafts, they're clear. The gearshifter seal is the only leak, if that bothers me i can take out the unit without removing the whole gearbox, but probably i'll keep an eye on the level and top up for the future.

I remember someone asking about the wishbone, i know it needs changing but its not urgent.

I'll keep an eye on the coolant level, the leak from the water pump wasn't visible today, but the timing belt needs doing imminently, so the pump will get done then.

Yes, that is how you do it, take just it out. I totally recommend you to do it. That is easy. Only tricky thing is getting the spring pin out, but totally doable too. That's what I had a little fight with, but correct approach can make it very easy job. I made myself a short 'pin' out of an screw, polished it round to fit in and stuck it in on one side and worked perfectly. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of that, next time if I'll do it again.
So... do it! That is fun, too. Especially the end result when there's no leak.

I've been advised to do this job before, because my EVO has exactly the same problem. I've seen a guide and video which look good, but it looks fairly difficult in comparison to topping up the gearbox occasionally, hence my reticence to get on with it...

To quote Mrs. Doyle... Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on...

This made me start watching again Father Ted. Such fun!!!
It also made me (plus this tread) thinking about replacing gearbox oil, checking the level...
Last time I did that was when I put a new clutch on, 2019 and about 35 k km ago. Wouldn't be bad to do it now, while everything is working just fine I think...

I presume you have no leaks?
