It looks that way from the diagram.

Piece of cake once the box is out. ;)

Phoning suzuki tomorrow to order the seal. Then i can get it done thursday night or fri morning.

Presuming it hasn't, by way of a miracle, sorted itself out.

cant see why gasket in a tube wont work! :D My old 5speed box leaked alot and sounded like cement mixer.. all because i was too lazy and didnt replace the seal and one day went out forgot that it needed oil and boom dead gearbox.
