My current Rod change, which I bought 2nd hand, doesn't leak at all either.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm having another look at it now, and I'm suspicious that what I thought was the 'bottom' of the hole (where the seals go) is actually another seal.. I think this because there's only about 4 or 5mm between the edge of the housing and the bottom of the hole, and I don't see how 3 seals could possibly fit into that space!

To confirm my suspicions, does anybody know how deep the hole should be when empty of seals?

Thanks,
Harry

i have once or twice taken the selector out when doing a rebuid and stuck it in the lathe and put a spiral grove on it that ends up in a groove that goes all the way round the shaft to try and keep the oil in. It's worked so far

We were prob. drunk when we set it up last and thought this will be a good idea

It's a lot more than 4 or 5mm, like I said I have seen 3 seals in there.
