First off thanks for all the good advice.
1967 220 m41
OK so this one is a good runner, to keep for awhile. It should have new inner wings for a total restore, so I'm not going to tear into that, but I want to tidy other things up.
Rear main leaks, rear (block end) freeze plug leaks, clutch jolts occasionally (probbly due to main seal oil dripping on it), tranny front seal seems to leak also, speedo seal replaced and it's not dripping from there, dripping from the lowest bolt and mount. Could be the tranny cover splash leaking. I don't think the o-drive has ever been separated from the gearbox. It engages fine when the gearbox is full.
Big clean oil spot on driveway.
So...
May as well drop tranny, replace main seal, have flywheel faced, put in a Sachs clutch, throwout bearing, replace tranny front seal.
Questions:
Replace tranny front (input) bearing?
Buy one of those "mainshaft repair sleeves" to have on hand?
Is the original style seal felt? Ok to use that type(for 50k miles)?
Is the rubber seal housing an upgrade like the cam cover?
Anything else to consider? Have a new driveshaft.
