Test the speed sensor. Should loose continuity 4 times her revolution of the sensor.

Re: Gearbox removal and swap help
Hey guys,
Gearbox is leaking oil... Has to be coming from either reverse sensor or from the filler hole... It's pretty bad, it's sprayed up onto the bottom of the arc chamber, ( right above the mentioned plugs)
Reverse sensor plug is tight. Seems fine.
Filler bolt seems fine aswell. Both are tight.
From memory there may have a been a brass washer or two??? That I may not have put back onto the bolt after filling the box with oil... Can anyone confirm this? Would it be any of the washers in the picture? And even if I did forget it, could it be the cause of oil literally spraying upwards out of there
Cheers

Re: Gearbox removal and swap help
It'd probably be one of the copper crush washers man can you see where it's coming from if you take your arc chamber off?

Re: Gearbox removal and swap help
Nope it's so difficult to pinpoint. Have degreased and checked a few times. But I just know it's in that area.Don't think there's anything under the arc that could be sending it upwards.. It's drips pretty severely after a drive.

Re: Gearbox removal and swap help
Could it be coming from the oil filter/oil filter o-ring?

Re: Gearbox removal and swap help
Just wondering if anyone could tell me where abouts the oil would be coming from, by looking at this picture?
Are they called cam seals? How many is there and how hard are they to replace?
