One of the reasons I prefer to live with the leaks on mine. It would be nice to replace the seals but it works perfectly at the moment and I don’t want to tempt fate.

Hey, thanks for that… I’m not alone! Jeeze I’ve just splashed a **** tonne of cash on some more parts… so, I think, every part will have been replaced now with genuine parts apart from synchros… so it’ll be them.. I’ll check out the videos...

Im on my third BOX in as many years. rebuilt the previous box 3 times i think. Mike from Brittanica does a series box rebuild in a recent video,its well worth a watch as well as Geoffrey Crocker's gearbox build, maximus ironthumper has an...

Yea the lift the bolt check only shows there is movement in the bearing if shaft is a tight fit in bearing. Can not see shaft being pushed rearwards as it is held in place by the bearing/bolt unless bolt has become loose.

I tried this last time… didn’t do anything to help. Is Moly ok with the yellow metals?

Ah, it’s a “NOS” Layshaft, as reverse was buggered on the original, and not the original spacer but one I thought was right for it… I am convinced the new roller bearing was fitted the right way around… but I’m obviously not very good at this...

In theory you can change gear without a clutch and with very little or no crunching at all. I’ve limped home several times over the years with broken cables and the like. Similarly on occasion I forget I’m in a tractor and crunch my series...

Spoke to a man in the know… he thinks to put the old 3/4 selector back, and check the Layshaft tolerance. If the Layshaft is tight, when warm could be dragging…

I’m pretty sure it’s ok. The clutch bite is quite high, the gears work fine initially too. I guess if the clutch is left engaged slightly, it’ll make hard work for the synchros. I’ll investigate.

Ah, no, it didn’t wear in. This is after rebuilding it again… it’s quite frustrating I’ve trawled all the forums for something similar… not seeing much to provide any clues tbh.

Hi… hope someone can help! S3 SWB 2.25petrol. Third time of trying to get my gearbox working well, and it’s still not good. Most previous issues have been sorted, but I am left with gears crunching the warmer the gearbox gets. This is mostly...

TODAY'S UPDATE Defender has gone in for a couple of warranty items Not faults, just parts that should have been fitted but weren't due to shortages. WHAT DID THEY LEND YOU? Jaguar E-Pace WHAT'S THAT LIKE I prefer the Defender, TBH l find a...
