Did my transfer and gearbox oil, when i pulled out the drain plug there was what looked like a selector key on the magnet so i pulled pto plate off and also found a loose snap ring in the bottom? I think it might be off 5th gear has any one else had this happen and is it a major job to fix, any help would be great thanks.

sounds like a snap ring and dog tooth from a synchroniser assembly, in your box there simple to rebuild once the box is out and stripped if your a mechanic

Pulled the same out of my old shorty Mav. Did another 150000kms before I sold it and had no effect at all..
Think of it as weight reduction

I think i wana new box this ones got a grindy sorta noise that happens Off load,down hill worse when foots on the clutch,dont think its thrust bearing, Mates a deisel mechanic he reckons maybe front bearing in box,not handbrake by the way, wat would be a reasonable price 4 a box as i dont think its worth rebuild this one.cheeeers
