demuire Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Posted July 28, 2005 Erm no, no metal plate. The only "plate" is where the springs and ball bearings go to hold the gears in gear... Heh, would it achieve the same thing to not put sealant around the gearknob? :jamie: I've run out of "blue goo" too :unsure: Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 permatex it. i never silicon anything, except sump and exhaust gaskets see if it's a problem first. it always happened to me, and i know a few of the guys on oldrollas had it happenning too. maybe our gearbox breathers were blocked, maybe a T50 has a bigger breather than a K50 and it won't be an issue for you you could also just enlarge the breather a mm or so and it would probably be fine. but see if it actually leaks out the output seal first Quote
demuire Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Posted July 28, 2005 Isn't permatex the blue stuff? That's what I'm using at the moment. I think it's permatex. It sounds familiar :jamie: Where is the T50 breather? I didn't even know it had one... Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 permatex 3, non hardening aviation sealant. aka: the brown goo stuff which i seem to use once then knock the bottle over and make a big sticky mess everywhere, constantly permatex do make blue and black silicon too, and threadlock and probably heaps of other sealant products :jamie: Quote
demuire Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) Oh. I just seem to keep using blue stuff. Is brown stuff better? Or maybe I should word that as: what is brown stuff more appropriate for than blue stuff? I've always thought "gasket? Need to seal? Use blue stuff". Edited July 28, 2005 by demuire Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 if it works for you then keep using it :jamie: the brown sticky stuff is a non-hardening sealant, so it's easier to clean up in the event that you need to service something regularly (such as changing your gearbox every few weeks) and you can re-use paper gaskets which you've sealed with it as well it's the stuff doug always goes on about Quote
demuire Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Posted July 28, 2005 Oooh reuse paper gaskets :jamie: I haven't used a paper gasket in awhile now :unsure: Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 it's handy when you're doing a water pump or timing cover at 3pm on saturday and no f@$kin thing is open because you live in shithole rural nsw :jamie: Quote
Banjo Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 Fook with all respect, I think you simply need to upgrade your gearbox to something a bit heavier duty ! Here are a couple of suggestions. Sorry Fook ! I couldn't resist, when I came across these today. :jamie: P.S. You might have to move the seat back a bit in the KE35. Quote
Corolla_Kid Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 Haha^^^ that cracked me up :jamie: Quote
Teddy Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 Must be a K40, behind "yup, you guessed it" Quote
TRD ke70 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 i use 3 bond as a sealant, it's made in Japan and it's what toyota and nissan use to seal there sumps. doesn't go all soft and shitty like silcone when exposed to oil. it is expensive and hard to find, but i'd consider it to be the best.

demuire Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Posted July 28, 2005 Box now has 2L of oil. Cross fingers and toes, and let's hope for the best... Quote
