Knackered gearbox

Biastai · Feb 16, 2015

Ballcocks!

Now my gearbox has died stopped moving forwards almost completely. Just spent a fortune on a rebuilt engine so can't afford a new gearbox, so ordered a 2nd hand one.

Does anyone rebuild these?

how long after fitting engine?,they arent too bad to rebuild if needed, if its just clutch pack A its just a matter of removing bell housing and pump housing, no full strip needed

The engine has been in a few months, so I guess he gearbox was the next weakest link.

Was told fluid was full of metal bits. If I rebuild it with clutch pack A, surely that won't be enough. All the crap has been through the torque converter.

Got to get it sorted as driving around in a 1.2 Corsa hire care.

it often is all thats needed apart from a oil flush ,but the metal bits might well mean other issues too

That was my concern. Hmmm! Will have to consider it some more.

Metal particles in the gearbox oil are a sign of impending doom.

If it's the 4.6, it has the ZF4HP24, don't hear of many of those failing so a second hand one would be a fair bet IMO.

+1. Alot of V8's are scrapped due to engine failure so plenty of second hand gearboxes available. The HP24 is one component on a 4.6 P38 generally built to last (famous last words).
