Gearbox oil seal change

Animesis · 12th November 2016, 18:43

Changed my thermostat today only to notice the gearbox is weeping oil at the n/s driveshaft. Is changing that seal quite an easy job? Also noticed my hydromount was past it and needs replacing, I'm sure the car loves me really!

Pretty straightforward - with the driveshaft removed just pull the old seal out and tap the new one in.

There will be some oil loss.
