i didnt do it! i paid my mate to do it cos itas an arse of a job, i helped him put the box back on after he put the flywheel back on the nite before, thats it!
i wouldnt know, im guessing he put it in as much as the fecked one was,
is there a good chance that this clutch will fook up cos of the oil? im wondering, cos im gonna take it to a good garage i know to see if they can sort it out, but its taking the piss!
11quid for gear oil,
65quid for clutch,
17quid for seal,
60 labour (my mate)
153quid all in and it still aint fixed!
im gutted!
here a pic, you can see where the bellhousing meets the sump and there is a black blodge, thats the oil!!! after a drive home from work 15miles, there normaly is a oil patch on the floor about 2" by 6" and its taking the piss, as well as making my dirve look like a oil refinery!!

he should have shoved the seal in a bit further to get over the groove made by the old seal.
