[QUOTE="John Appleton, post: 15344, member: 760"] Hello Bill, from your description I am not completely clear as to where the recess you speak of is located. Your clutch should be protected from oil by two skirted oil seals and one composite aluminium and rubber ring, or O ring on later series D clutch carriers. The first skirted seal (part number PD26) is a large ( very approx) 2 1/2 --3 inch item pressed into the primary drive cover . The second skirted seal(PD25) is located between the two bronze bushes in the clutch sprocket, and the third seal ( part number C18/1 if you have the earlier carrier) should be visible when the clutch retaining nut C20 is removed, or if you have the later pattern O ring ( C18/2 ) should be visible. It is also recommended that the splines that drive the clutch carrier (C3 ) be lightly coated with jointing compound before assembly. You should be made aware that C18/1 and C18/2 are not interchangeable as they require different C20 nuts and C3 carriers. If all of this raises more questions than it has answered I apologise and will attempt to clarify things when you raise them, as will many others I am sure . John [/QUOTE]
