   does the input shaft on the gearbox of my VTS have an oil seal?
   
   and if so is it easily changed while the box is on the banch? i dont want to go into a complete stripdown of the box but if its easily done id like to.

   as above, try an get a genuine seal complete with the guide tube if you can, not silly money and wouldn't want to be taking box out again for the sake of coppers

   Do you just pull the bolts that are hiding behind the release bearing?
   
   Thanks for the replies BTW
