Default bell housing has oil in it, okey?

hey I just slap my turbo kit back on my 2000 civic si and I had all sorts of leaks. Oil pan gasket, turbo return, and crank case vent system. anyways the oil pan gasket was leaking on the tranny side and in an effort to quick fix it I took the sheld off the lower part of the tranny so the flywheel is exposed and when I was driving oil must have got on the flywheel spun off probley putting a nice coat of oil in the bell housing. should I take the tranny off and clean it or will it have no effect on the longevity of the clutch?


my set up made 430hp/305tq at 8000rpms on crome- Lsvtec stock head, rods, sleeves.
hears a pic form the install[IMG][/IMG]

Since your a Diegoian, check your rear seal for the crank. That is what usually muck's up the bellhousing/clutch.

the main seal is good, the oil pan was not torqued back to spec when I taped the oil pan. It's been fixed with hondabond and a new gasket.
