Sorting out my Gearbox and clutch assembly!

[Sparky]

Evening all.

 

Following on from Supracharged's last thread, i have an 6 speed gearbox which has or is leaking as its covered in cruddy oil. Is it safe to put the car up onto a ramp and steam clean the oil off?

 

Next im hoping to get a friend (Mechanic), to remove the box, clutch and flywheel etc and have a good check over everything.

 

What bits should i replace while its all off and how do i find out theyre exact part codes to buy them from toyota/supra traders.

 

Im thinking all gearbox seals, and all bearings straight away!

 

The clutch has a good biting point but theres something making a noise when i press the clutch down so i hope by replacing all the bearings and bolts and seals i can eliminate the noises!

 

If anyone would be kind enough to produce a list or give tips/ideas of what i need to do then it would be very much appriciated! Thankyou:)

is it worth steam cleaning it on the car if your going to remove it anyway?

 

also you might not have to totaly remove the box if its the oil seal (so my meachanic friend says!) this may save you a bit of time/money

 

my list now extends to -

 

Lighter flywheel? (RPS / toms / trd)

Change release bearing? - yes

Change pilot bearing?

Replace/repair gearbox links? - yes

Replace gearbox oil seals? - yes

Check/replace flywheel bolts?

Clutch disc?

check spigot ring?

On my last supe i changed the pilot bearing, release bearing, links, and spigot ring as well as a new flywheel and clutch (Both knackered). I never got any noise from the clutch afterwards!

 

I think following your list ill change everything but the flywheel and clutch (Unleasee theres a problem with either of them!

 

Thanks
