Hello,
I am refitting my primary. I cannot remember which way the sprag goes in. On Freds site (Old Britts), it says flange side goes in first. Yet in my Clymer Norton book it says Flanged side faces out. which is the correct way?
I had an annoying leak from primary, not bad, just annoying drip. This is what I found:
1) Center stud sheared just behind inner primary. Rear engine mount bolts too loose so that could have cause the stud breaking issue.
2) The gear cross shaft was bent so it was not running in the center of the seal and it was dripping oil from there.
I have about 12K miles on my MK3 since the rebuild with hardly any issues. Got through 2 Tri-sparks though (Pazon next time). I stripped the gearbox drain plug the other day, so I did my first helicoil with success (easier than I thought it would be). So I am going to change the turn signals and fix the front brake light switch and then back on the road with new oil.
