type 9 input shaft
Has anybody tried removing the input shaft of the type 9 box without a complete stripdown at all.
I would be keen to hear if you have, what the basic procedure was.
Cheers

I think most of us treat gearboxes like lightbulbs, if it fails it gets replaced
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

From what I can remember when I rebuilt my 'box, the internals have to be removed before the input shaft will come out (checks Haynes manual -
seems to suggest at least the countershaft has to come out).
You can take the clutch release bearing guide sleeve off which contains the front lip seal, if thats what you want to replace.
If you consider stripping your 'box I'd definitely recommend getting your hands on an older version of the sierra haynes manual (50p from
your local charity shop)as it gives a full stripdown with lots of photos.
I picked up a copy of each version of the sierra haynes manual, and it's amazing how it grew in size over the years until the last version where
it thinned by half and they stuck in rubbish about how to check your oil level and such like (isn't this already in your handbook?)

James, you just missed the bit where they tell you to take the car to the dealer if the oil level is wrong!!
Seriously, Haynes manuals are now complete and utter crap in my opinion, the wiring diagrams which are supposed to be easier to understand than the
traditional DIN diagrams are now flipping useless, they have no gearbox details, diff details or any of that sort of thing. Best bit is they still
charge more for them!!!
As James says, get an old one from the charity shop, better by far!!
