020 Gearbox Question......

[dubstar]

johnp was going to do a teardown of my gearbox, but he has talked me out of it as there are no apparent noises and there's no MAJOR leaks.

However there is a minor oil leak and I believe it is coming from the drivers side driveshaft flange.  Mine has a funny green metal sleeve which is slightly dented.  Can I replace this seperately?  Is it an easy pull out and then push back in?

Part number? Price?

It's the part circled below:

You tell us Dubstar I like that picture of all the bits to reco a box.

It sounds like the green seal sleeve is quite a common cause of leaks.  Here is one such post I found:

I believe the part number is 020301192A, but I will check with Neil.

And, yes, it just taps into the trans.

Wow, I answered my own question.
