582 C Gearbox Oil Seal

I replaced the seal with one purchased off of eBay. This is one of those cases where it makes little sense to pay the Rotax tax.

Glad to hear that the seal is available. Not having to pay Rotax prices for it is also a big plus. I haven't taken the gear box apart yet so haven't determined which of the two seals in that part of the gearbox is leaking

Prop shaft seals are OK. I need to replace the one for the coupling flange.
Since it is an older gearbox will the seal for the newer model flange work or is it different ? I haven't torn the gearbox apart yet to look at the seal.

this is what I ordered for mine: Metric Oil Shaft Seal 32 x 47 x 07 32x47x7 Double Lip.

I don't believe it changed from the early to later C boxes.

Thanks Paul

Are your gearboxes stop leaking? I have the greyhead too with c-Box, but it's don't leaking until now.
Has anybody a pic from the seal in place, where could I find it? Inside the gearbox?

Olaf,
I've attached the exploded view of the C gearbox taken from the two stroke parts manual. You can get any of the engine manuals on the Rotax owner's site: http://www.rotax-owner.com/en/suppor...engine-manuals though you might have to register to access them.

The oil seals are parts 10, 24 and 13. So far I've replaced 10 and 13 with non Rotax parts and have had no further leaks.
