Oil for Ferret Fluid Coupling?

[Robin Craig]

Honestly, pulling the gearbox off the engine and thereby allowing you to remove fluid flywheel is a relatively easy job especially when you consider you are dealing with Mk1 vehicles and have a decent shop and overhead lifting abilities.

You are making more problems for yourself if you don't in my humble opinion.

I fear what is happening is Aquino is looming large on the horizon and the pressure is to deliver a running vehicle.

There are a few cheats to allow you to skip a few steps but honestly if you don't know when the fluid flywheel was last rebuilt then you have no idea when the seal was replaced. I think you are better to start from a known point and move forward with a trouble free vehicle for years to come.

I know you may feel it is easy for me to sit at this vantage point and pontificate but honestly if you want a smooth fluid flywheel its worth the extra effort.

I know when I get mine back together it will be one area I will have no concern over.
