Austin mini Gear selector change rod oil seal replacement

In this video I changed the gear selector change oil seal in my 1989 classic mini thirty.

One of the minis common oil leaks is from the gear change rod selector oil seal and for the sake of a few pounds it's worth changing and it's a fairly simple job that you can do on your driveway at home. Approx time to do the job is around 30 minutes.

If after changing your gear rod selector oil seal you may experience your car popping out of gear. If this does happen then you can trim a rib or 2 off the dust gator as these can have a tendency of being quite springy!
