Is this the same as a 'front gearbox seal'? Gearbox is on the floor and ready to take apart but I want to make sure I've got the right seals before I start...

Hope this photo of the interior of the bell housing will help to clarify Liam O'C's perfect description ;)

Umm---didn't take in the bit about you had it on the floor already :( Never mind, the photo might come in useful for somebody else wondering the same thing in the future :)

Cheers bud. I didn't want to crack that front face off without knowing I had all the seals ready to put it back together again. I hate leaving things unfinished if at all avoidable!

Edit - Ha ye no worries man, helpful all the same

You guess correctly :p As far as I'm aware there isn't anything remotely gearbox related that isn't being changed, hopefully I don't come across something that I've forgotten to order!

Fingers crossed it works when it's back together, got quite a few other jobs to do first before I can start it / drive it. Bit nerve racking!
