Series 1 Gearbox

[Malley]

hey everyone, im having problems with my series 1 awd stag box, we just changed the gearbox because the old gearbox lost all gears, now i have put the new box in and put new front gearbox seal on, but the oil is still leaking out of the box, where the stall is, any help would be great. thank you

U sure its not coming out of the converter?

[Malley]

thatswhat i thought of today but what could cause that? and should i just get another convertor or get this one rebuilt?

[Raysboostin]

R u sure its put on correctly?? I had a car yrs ago (not a stagea) that was leaking out of the converter. Turned out it wasn't on properly.

im pretty sure it is, i didnt think it would drive if it wasnt

Yes seriously. Go the manual. U won't regret it.

[Malley]

whats it cost normally to do manual?

Depends on a lot of factors, but allow $3k as a bare minimum. I can't see u getting everything u need for any less. The more new parts u use the dearer it gets. There's a long ass thread about it. Have a search.
