Hi Kendall:
I have a plastic gearbox cover on my TR6. I put on a seal. It seems to
have had a small gap on the driver's side at the front. I've just
located quite a rusty patch there. Clearly hitting a puddle or whatnot
when rain driving lets water get in under the carpets. And I do very
little driving when it's wet. Now I have to buff down the floor there
and re-paint. I recommend sealing the cover fully.
Cheers,
Mark

Subject: Plastic gearbox cover seal
Hey List,
Those of you who are using the plastic gearbox cover from TRF, did you
order
and install the seal that comes in their 'kit'? It was really ok when it
was
rotting cardboard... I'm not sure if a seal is really neccessary and
will
possibly just make installation and removal more difficult? On the other
hand
maybe it will help seal drafts and noise? Any opinions out there?
Thanks!
