Been reading around and i think i have to remove the gearbox and replace the seal at the front?? Sounds pretty straight forward

Thanks for the reply,
So it's a finding a second hand gear box "game" then on Ebay
Is it possible to find a "good" one these days. Is it worth removing and sending it to you?
