Slave seal/ bearing condition (with photos).
Discussion
Hi All,
Yay I finally got the bell housing off, gearbox out and slave cylinder removed.
Thanks for everybodys input - I found your help invaluable.
Just a few questions:
1) The surfaces of the slave cylinder look great. So just to change the 2 rubber seals then?
2) The bearing on to of the cylinder is definitely shagged - what are my options here and who should I call?
3) What should I clean the whole area with as the bell housing is caked in muck.
4) Anybody had any experience with first gear problems as mine will jump out every now and then when moving away from standstill. ? Is it worth a quick investigation inside the gearbox to spot the obvious? I want to sort this whilst everything is off the car. Also the spline end is getting rusty too. Can this be prevented in future?

Thanks for your amazingly quick reply Jody.
I will take you up on your offer to possibly guide me through a gearbox check, especially for the possible bent selector in first. Please PM me if necessary or go through here for the benefit of others if required.
My input shaft definitely has a bit of play in it and it was one of the first things i noticed and thought strange. I did actually drop the gearbox onto it as it came out through the manifolds. I cursed but it is done now.
I will have to investigate further how to remove the dodgy bearing. Maybe the parts list sticky has a number?
I actually cannot believe the amount of work needed to potentially just change those two rubber slave seals! They actually look ok but will definitely be changed.
