Title: SJ gear box sealing
Post by: sharper13 on October 16, 2006, 13:52:26

does anyone seal there gearbox / clutch holes i appreciate you need the timing cover but to stop the clutch from foreign body contamination is it worth filling the holes or would that just cause overheating and more grief, if so whats best?

I put a breather on the top of the bell housing on my SJ and that stopped it filling up with crud. :)

I warmed up a length of hosepipe and slipped in in the hole and then sealed up the gaps with tape.  It worked fine. :)

As Simon says - don't block the drain hole at the bottom though :)
