When I bought the GQ the rear engine seal was leaking.

So the mechanic pulled the box out and we replaced the thrust and spigot bearing and the seal. We dicovered that the flywheel was warped and running 2mm out of round but I had it all put back together and we went off on our big trip.

After 10,000km the rear seal starting leaking again. We arrived home and after 20,000km I had the box removed again and replaced the flywheel, clutch and rear seal. Had an in-depth discussion with mechanic re the fitting of a speedi-sleeve. Mechanic reckoned that there was no play and that sleeve wasn't necessary.

8000km later and we have a recurring leak. Now the box will be out for the third time next week and we will be fitting a speedi-sleeve. I am paying for the sleeve but nothing else.

Is there anything else we should look for because I am getting sick and tired of having this recurring problem on the ever reliable 4.2 diesel

Cheers
