Leak from under the gear shift shaft

[matt_76]

Can anyone give me some info what will I need when I take things apart before I get myself into trouble. Rat developed a leak from where the gear change shaft comes out of the gearbox see pic:



I'm about to take the bike apart, but what I'd like to know is what gaskets will I need to put it back together. Shame I just replaced the engine oil...

i can't help but i'm sure someone else can. do you have the manual that you can get from this forum. if not, you're gonna need one just because.

Not trying to sell you on something but mine was leaking at that same spot a good while ago among other places and i bought everything to change it out but installed my Krankvent first and my oil leaks stopped. I still have the parts if it ever starts again but it's been years and still no leaking. Very easy install and an easier fix than pulling parts. Worth a try.

mine does the same thing but not bad maybe every 5 or 6 days i just wipe it down mine just looks like i driped oil on it for a run off is all

The specifics are shown in the Service manual but here's a disassembled parts view:

Hi Matt,
If you mark the gear linkage to shaft and them remove it you can replace that seal without splitting the case. Screw a small screw into the outer seal and then pull it out with a pair of vice grips. you may need to do this on opposite sides . Clean around the hole and tap a new one back in the case with a bit of locktite 515 around the outer circumference. Best to tap it in with a peice of pipe just smaller than the out circ and large enough to go over the gear shaft. Hope this helps mate.
