hi not sure if i am using this. Correctly but after 2 years of what seems like constant welding i finally got my series 3 on the road ,only to be greeted by some weird noises coming from the gearbox. So my question is where can i get the best price recon/exchange box

hello and welcome mate,,,,,,,,if its crunchin o dear......but if its screechin probly bearins if its a iia box the front layshaft bearing usually goes first and the box lets out a screechin noise,,ie bearin cage broken up and all balls fall together ,jam and screech,,,easy fix AFTER you get the g,box out bell housin off you can see the bearing collapsed mind u its a pig to get out without taking the box apart but it can be done persevere...ive done it,,,or rebuild the whole box with new bearings @ £100 for a bearin kit.....series ii and iia boxes are usually very strong but unsofisticated.......siii boxes are similar but slightly weaker wehter they suffer from the same things im not sure but i would think so.....hope this is helps dave .......welcome by the way,,,...
 
I don't think mine has got a series 2 box in it as it is a late series 3 but you never know who has done what before I got hold of it. It is going in and out of gear ok it is just making a grinding noise in the first 3 ok once I am in 4th.
 
AYUP andy grinding in first second and third,,,,sounds like ii or iia box to me ie no syncromesh on 1,2,3 gears does this ring a bell mate.....try double declutching between the lower gears when changing up mate see if it makes a difference ,if so its a ii or iia box our kid. it dont mean it a bad thing you will have to learn how to drive it cos it wont stop the landy doing ANYTHING,you just have to ajust your driving,,,mate
