Front Cover Input Shaft Oil Seal - Oil Leaks

MODEL

DETAIL

Land Rover engineering have identified oil leak issues in service associated with the input shaft or primary pinion shaft oil seal on the R380 gearbox. Land Rover Transmissions have recently introduced a redesigned oil seal to overcome oil leaks with the old seal. The new seal was introduced from gearbox No 56A0513063J.

Note: The new seals are coated with wax at the point of manufacturer to assist fitting and therefore should not be cleaned prior to fitment

ACTION REQUIRED

Upon a failure of the front cover input shaft oil seal, ie oil leaking into the clutch housing, replace with the new seal as detailed below.
