My 89 westy is leaking a lot of gear oil thru the rear / engine side. I put in 2 qts last month and I would think it down a quart now after 500 miles. Yes that much. Not driving it much till I can get this fixed. Anyone had experience with removal and fixing? Should I do it myself or the shop? I have pulled many air cooled engines but stayed away from trannys as they worked. Can the seal be pulled with a screwdriver prying out? What else should be replaced while apart.? Clutch disk? engine seals.? The engine was rebuilt 5 years ago and 25k miles. Anyone with a brief walk thru? / Jack up rear / support engine front / undo shifter, bellhousing, nose, pull shafts / replace main seal on tranny / replace soaked clutch disk / replace throw out bearing? / any engine seals while I have access to the face?/ /that is about all I can think of. Any thing missed? I am leaning towards a shop doing it anyone have this done in the past and the cost? Thanks for listening. Tom Jansen Coppell , Tx.
