Hi all,
The clutch was slipping on my Rockster with @17k on the odo. I have it apart now and found the disk oil fouled. Initially, I suspected the clutch slave as I see it is a common failure and the well it sits in was certainly filled with fluid. On closer inspection, however, I noted that the fluid looked and smelled like gear oil and was much darker than what is in the clutch hydraulics. The rear seal on the input shaft doesn't look great either so I suspect that is the real problem (although I'll replace the slave as well).
Can anyone confirm the rear seal on the input shaft can be replaced externally or offer any tips for completing that job? I believe it is #2 in the attached parts diagram.
