I've finally got the engine rebuilt and ready to install after many delays, wrong parts, SLOW delivery, and so forth. In one of the threads I saw that in addition to replacing the throw out bearing and dual clutch that it may be an opportune time to replace the transmission input shaft seal.
The seal and gasket should be here soon and I've been looking at the WSM manual pg. 36 for the L305/L305 front transmission. My question is if I can simply pull the cover and replace the seal. Or is there more involved. It sounds like the input shaft comes out too??? If so, is it mandatory to pull the top cover, shifter forks, and multitude of steel balls scattering to and fro prior to pulling the front cover on these transmissions?
