Hi all, sorry about this one! I really can't find good info on this anywhere...

 

I'm refitting the gearbox (manual) and ready to slip the smaller dust plate between gearbox and engine. I need to know how this plate should be oriented. Does the rubber 'seal' point towards the box or the engine?? My other question is does it fit on the gearbox side or the engine side of the larger dust plates (that sit behind the flywheel).

 

My larger dust plates look as though they are deformed to allow the smaller plate to fit behind them (engine side) but this contradicts what I have read so far...

 

Advice greatly appreciated.

Oops! should have double checked before posting!

It looks to me that the small plate should go on the gearbox side of the other plates - information I have read suggests otherwise...apols for any confusion!

Does this help?

Hi James, thanks for your input but unfortunately the manual doesn't appear to show the plates in question :-\ - unless I'm looking at the wrong sections (gearbox, engine, clutch - where else could it be?!?)

 

Cheers, H!

Ok, not to worry, I've stuck it on now and pretty sure it's correct.

For the information of others in this predicament in future, the small plate goes behind the large plate (engine side) with the rubber seal facing toward the gearbox.

 

If I've got this wrong then somebody please correct me asap!
