T5 Gearbox input shaft movement & re-sealing all........

[Del 203]

How much movement would you expect on the input shaft ?


Any recommendations for re-sealing all the covers & more importantly the middle section/main join between the box & tail? Can the tail of the box just be un-bolted & re-sealed ??

Thanks

p.s. anyone know what the handbrake switch is off ? its gone ping & i cant find the bloody spring

Can't help on the gearbox question. But the handbrake switch is the same as the brake light switch on my late model Chimaera. They are readily available from any of the usual TVR parts sources for a few £.

Bugger !! Just in from the garage...

Cheers Steve, i found the 1st link earlier & used that, the second one looks alot easier to follow (i.e. idiots guide ) Oh well, will see if the leak i had is cured tomorrow


If not i'll be looking for another one to shove in while i get this one sorted & if that happens i might have a play with the ratio's

Thanks again fella

Thanks Mike, still cant find the bloody spring but it looks like i can get to it with everything back together so might have to wait, unless i find a suitable spring tomorrow

Thanks Steve,

Will be back on soon & see if the pesky leak is sorted. I will post some pics at some stage & put a link to this in the Engines Drivetrain thread i'd started

No leak


So far
