Thanks, that is good to know. However, it is not enough of a problem to warrant pulling the transmission and taking it apart. I just blip the throttle a little and that's takes care of the problem.
I like my ZF compared to the Getrags I have driven. The only issue I have noticed recently is when approaching a corner and shifting into second at speed, it tries to grind unless double clutching and rev to mesh the gears. It never happens when upshifting or if I wait until after I go around...
That sounds like good advice. I will take it a step further and put a liquid sealant that hardens on the flat contact surface of the nut and the first few inner threads. That will be a backup in case the grease does not hold the gear lube back.
I don't want to put the sealant on the splines...
Wladek, that seal you are showing is the seal I replace a couple years ago. It is not leaking there. It is leaking through the center where those splines are. This is where the pinion shaft connects to the flange and is held in place with the nut. Somehow the gear lube is getting past the...
If there is no nut in the E12 era, how does the preload in the pinion bearings get established? We may be talking about two different things. I am talking about the input drive flange that connects to the drive shaft. It looks like I was not clear on that.
I replaced the differential drive flange seal about 2 years ago and it is still working well. However, I have discovered there is a leak coming out of the center of the drive flange where the nut is.
I have studied the Blue Book extensively and can find no reference of a seal for the collar...
When I moved to California in 69 I rode a friends dirt bikes a few times. He had a Bultaco and a couple Suzuki's. After a few times out I realized I was over riding my abilities and was going to kill myself. I stopped riding motorcycles after that with the exception of one ride on an Indian...
If you want some really exciting views you can take Black Bear over the mountain from Ouray to Telluride. That does require an off-road vehicle with a skilled driver. Not recommended for anyone with a fear of height.
