A major shipment of parts from an Isetta/600/700 specialist in Germany finally showed up this week. Among the parts was a transmission seal kit. I decided to replace the input shaft and two output shaft seals due to what looked to be cracking and a little seepage. I also, pulled off the differential and gearshift covers in order to inspect the bearings and gears. So those gaskets got replaced as well. And, while the covers were off, I checked several end play and gear lash measurements laid out in the service manual. Man am I glad to have one of those. Since it was included in the kit I did the speedo output seals too. I also thoroughly cleaned the inside of the trans before installing Mobil 1 synthetic hypoid oil. All of this might seem like overkill, but I need to be sure the gearbox will handle the extra power I'm planning on getting out of the engine. At any rate, the trans is ready to go, now on to the engine.
