I have found a new flywheel in UK that I probably will buy. It wouldn't feel right to leave the worn one in place. When changing the flywheel, is there any oil seal or similar that should be replaced?
As seen in one of the pictures a few posts above there's lot of oil in the "clutch housing". But, the oil is black/dirty as if it had been there long, and not clean as it should have been if it came from the gearbox. Anyway, today I cleaned it and removed and dismantled the withdrawal unit. The housing unit gasket seems to be okay. So I suppose the oil must got past the sleeve bush or maybe the cross-shaft oil seal, if it has come from the gearbox. There's no other way for the oil to enter, or is there?
As far as I can see there is no wear to the components in the withdrawal unit. The race and sleeve moves fine, but I can feel a small radial play between the sleeve and the bush (when not removed from the race). The sleeve color looks as it has been very hot sometime!?
