scotty97 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 i have just bought a 99 txt 270, and the oil sight in the side of the gearbox seems to b leaking slightly, can i just unscrew it and replace the seal?? What size socket do i need? A 16mm is to small, and a 17 doesnt want to go down over it (i think the outside of the socket is hitting case), or is there a certain spanner i could use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty97 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 COME ON MUN! Some1 must have changed the oil glass on the side of the gearbox??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty97 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 right i modified a 17mm socket and it fits perfect. replace the oil sight and the copper washer, and it still seems to leak a tiny bit of oil, when left for a few hours. Anyone else had this problem????? i was thinking of using a fibre washer instead of copper to try and get a better seal, any suggestions???
