Hi again:
This is my hopefully last post on the trans I am rebuilding.
I replaced all wear parts new. The last and final question
is-------Why ise every XK non syncro top gasket 3/8 short on
each end. Tried 3 replacements all are the same bolt
holes as short of existing holes.
THANKS
Is it a JL transmission? I’ve never heard of a CL transmission for XK’s
Going back over old threads, his gearbox is JL35935CR.
Two possibilities:
- They sent you a gasket for a full synchro box.
- The gasket is 40 years old and the paper has shrunk from humidity.
Best bet, buy some gasket paper and make your own with an Exacto knife.
