1972 915 clutch end seal

[47silver]

if the only thing I need to replaces are seals and gaskets on a 1972 915 transmission will i need any special tools to dissassemble and re-asssemble.

If i need the tools is there a list of which ones i need to obtain? I prefer to buy the tools and do things myself and then i have the tool and i learned something.

Unfortunately the trans has to be disassembled to replace the input shaft seal.

you mean I need all of the tools?

[Trackrash]

Yes. Spend some time searching. There are a number of threads. Many of the tools can be made or created by re-purposing used parts.
Here are a couple of starters.

who in their right mind would design something so stupid? Porsche should send us the tools to use at least.

If you plan to keep the car for a while, you could consider having the case modified so you won't have to tear into it again the next time the seal needs to be replaced:
