S1 gearbox input and output shaft leaks
Posted: 27 Nov 2023, 09:29
While having the subframe separated from my car for engine work I am also carrying out various other jobs while access is easy.
I have noticed my gearbox input shaft is leaking a bit into the belhousing and the side shafts are also leaking.
I have bought a gearbox gasket kit including oil seals to tackle this job.
When I removed the inner side shaft it appeared if the oil came from inside the inner CV. Is this possible/ how does it happen? I have seen some forum posts discussing sealing two bolts that hold the output shaft, but on my car there is a big nut that holds the output shaft (needing a special Lancia tool) I can not see how it can leak from here, unless it leaks through the spline?
On the input shaft, it appears in the parts book diagram that there are two seals. The gasket kit only appears to have one seal though. Am I interpreting the diagram correctly and is this a seal I can easily buy?
Any other tips and tricks to do this job right?, E.g how do you lock the output shaft to remove the nut? (I should be able to borrow the tool).
