[QUOTE="lolight70, post: 577020, member: 22011"] Hi all I have the gearbox out of my 69 westy on the floor and doing a bit of maintenance, Im replacing the ball at the end of the hockey stick,input shaft seal,shift rod seal I ordered 2 cv shaft seals but after removing the old ones,the new ones are deeper by about double, I got them from VWH,i fitted one but it wont sit flush with the top of the housing as was the old one, I am able to fit the plate with the 2 holes over it but im concerned they will cause leaks later on. Also i read about putting a shim between the rear housing and the bearing to stop it from moving, What shim ? How do you secure it ? Sorry about the rant Chris [/QUOTE]
