Gearbox! feck tw@t bugger!!!

Having tried everything I could think of to get rid of the clunk on take up, I succumb to pulling the tranny box inspection covers off! The tranny box gears look fine, except the input cog, which along side the output shaft are well and truly shagged!

Ordered up some new parts to drop a second hand box in, but even they have been soddin expensive! The price of the cross drilled gear int too bad, until you add bearings and a seal kit - then it starts to mount up to near £120 grrrr

Ok, vent over .... no point at all to this post, but heck, I feel better for it!!!

As long as ya feel better thats ok

I do....my bank manager may have other ideas though

Yeh I know that feeling! It seems to go even before anythinggs in me bank!

If my cars only ever cost 120 quid every so often, if be a happy man!

Me too, but that wont cover the price of the new box or oils :-(

The £120 is only for the cross drilled gear, seals and bearings!

I feel your pain. £1100 later and mine has a shiny new gearbox because the output splines were virtually non existent on the old box!

Hehee i know what ya mean!!



That's what 180k millage looks like!

This is what 73k and a lot of towing and poor maintenance looks like!

Plenty of life left on herrr!!!!! Hahaa

Mines long gone, nice new one in there, no clunking

coulda bought my transfer box with brand new gear and timken bearings for less or the brand new cross drilled inout I had was up at £45 in the fs section

This is why I cry tears of sorrow everytime I ask mine to go into 2nd
