    Just repacked the flywheel and I have a small amount of grease leaking from the flywheel. The O-ring on the outer part of the flywheel was in great condition and resued. I put the entire can of flywheel grease in the flywheel.

    Anyone else have this experience?

    No other problems since the service. Put a little over 400 miles on the car in the last two days.

    I don't know for sure about a 355, but on the 348 a can of flywheel grease contains way more than the originally specified replacement amount, and more than even the upgraded quantity.

    You may have overfilled it. Experts?

    Thanks for the reply. I searched the forums and looked in the workshop manual for an amount and the general consensus was to put all of it in the flywheel. If it wants to leak out and then stop at the correct amount then fine with me. However, if it is going to leak until it is dry this is obviously not good.

    Sounds to me like you got a leaky O-ring ,By Cracky.
