[QUOTE="craig, post: 103530, member: 1959"] Great C3/PD21 o-ring seal solution, thank you, but I want to know the details of the old/new C20, C3, G3 pieces. I am looking at the "new" pieces and wondering why? no indexing? loose o-ring? As an engineer I need to know all the details where possible, then make a decision. In this clutch shaft case I can see multiple seals applied. I don't understand why the C20/C3 indexing is lost and C3/2 allowed to wobble on the G3/1. This is not a issue?, never been an issue? 2 million miles on a D with no clutch leaks? I understand that C20 nut comes loose as standard fare? Have I seen instructions to leave C20 nut loose to allow no binding in the clutch action? Why is the groove to take the new C18/2 o-ring seal deep enough to take two o-rings? Does the alloy spacer in use with a C18/3 crush down allowing loose C20/C3 interface? Do you over torque a C20 nut to allow the spring lock, or do you back off the C20 torque? Is there a torque spec for C20 nut beyond KTB? Cheers Craig [/QUOTE]
