Hello, I am new to the forum and found it by doing a google search. The engine has been rebuilt and a new clutch. I am having some leaking from the transmission.
I have a 74 Spitfire, the engine has been rebuilt and a new clutch as well. I am having some leaking from the transmission. it leaks fluid out of the bellhousing where the front shaft goes through. It seems that there should be a seal there but there is not. I have taken the engine and trans out and can see the shaft has little play when through the bellhousing opening. Do the threads on the inside of the bellhousing pass through redirect the oil back into the transmission?
Can anyone who might have knowledge of this issue possibly give me some advice on what may remedy the leak? I would greatly appreciate any help.
