Subject: Clutch & Oil Seal 81' Van.
This week I am going to put in a new clutch, plate & bearing. I am
almost sure the through-out bearing has gone bad because I found
metal up in the fly wheel when I pulled the starter. The clutch seems
to work but periodically there is a whining sound when I switch gears
and it is hard to get in gear. In neutral it sometimes whines, it is the
worse in reverse. But my
other problem is when I last drove the Van after I stopped about a
pint of oil started dripping out (fast) near the rear seal. Do you
think something could have gotten to the seal? Also is the Rear Seal
for a 2 liter the same as the seal for a 1600cc "bug" engine? I have
allready ordered the clutch kit and need to find the seal locally or
have it over-night.
Any suggestions or other diagnoses appreciated.
Thanks,
Charles F. Webb
