removed the old loctite with a whiz of a wire brush...
...grabbed the red rubber grease which I use to fill in the space at the back of the oil seal. I like to think it keeps them supple. has to be red rubber grease though- other grease's may attack the rubber. apparently. install can be made easier with a wave of blow torch over the area to heat up the case and then a thin smear of rrg helps the oil seal slide in....
Check with archived photo that the spring on the correct way...
Yes...but never count on the previous owner getting it right...
Bit of Loctite...
and then while I was here and had the rr grease and blow torch out.....decided I shut fit the shifter oil seal...
and then why not the neutral switch...
boom. 3 new things in place....
make that four....clutch cable holder....I'm working on the premise that if I stumble upon a component and I know where it's fastener is, I install it before I forget where I put it.
frickin' chaos in here...
