oil leaking from Gearbox sprocket shaft on '76 CR360 - WHY?

I thought the oil leak was coming from the seal and/ or gasket on the Output shaft, the oil leak is coming through splines of the output shaft...........I changed the seal and gasket - no difference. I've looked in the parts manual and I can't see why this should leak oil. The engine isn't overfilled - up to the level plug on the clutch cover and the engine breather on the same clutch cover isn't blocked......anybody have any ideas as to why?..........

It leaks because 'Husqvarna' is Swedish for 'Harley-Davidson?'

Nature of the beast.
Always lean them slightly to the left.

If you lean them toward the kick stand side, the shift shaft will leak LESS than the countershaft side....

There is no seal . The only thing that stops the oil coming out is the interference between the shaft and the bearing . The bearing is sealed tho .
Can lessen it by sealing the spacer to the shaft and the inner bearing race

HVA Factory do a kit to sort this problem. The only trouble is that I'm not sure if it fits the earlier bikes. Ping an email off to Andy and ask.

ok thanks for your words of advice............

I think Andy's kit only works on 1980 and up as the 1979 and lower countershaft is smaller than the 1980 countershaft. On the 1980 250CR I did last September, I over cooked the seal in the bearing and found that the seal could be replaced in the bearing without replacing the bearing. You can check with a bearing house or get one from Phillip like I did. Also Andy's kit is only for the models with non sealed countershaft bearings.
