Post by crack »

gday all

lost reverse gear in my gearbox on the counter shaft i think its called. the main shaft with gears 1-5 is fine. my question is is it work stripping the main shaft ouit to keep as a spare incas emy new box goes one day?

just asking as im striped one torx screw and snaped one torx bit and have given up for the day. is it worth the effort?

Depends on the box in question...
If they are rare and exotic/expensive save every part you can.
If they are cheap and plentiful then spend your time doing something more enjoyable like emptying a box of beer!

Go see Gary at Gearboxes WA in Tate St Welshpool. Did a complete rebuild on my ln111 box 3 weeks ago. Highly recomend him. Or at least give him a call and ask him about your problem, very helpful. Good bloke 2. Regards Jaz.
