Now it's time to move on to the front section of the gearbox assembly. My first job will be to reinstall the input shaft, then replace its seal. This seal keeps lubricant from getting out of the gearbox. If it doesn't do its job, the lubricant gets onto the clutch and ruins it. That's an engine-out job to repair -- so it's always worth replacing the seal whenever you have the gearbox out.
