Thread: TD5 R380 Lost 3rd Gear

Sorry to but in:

Send Ashcrofts an Email, they are great to deal with. Here is a quote when we bought ours:


Hi

Thank you for your enquiry.

The price of the gearbox with the rear support bearing upgrade is £1,005 rebuilt outright plus £200 shipping to Sydney airport only. The shipping price excludes customs clearance costs, duty, taxes and local delivery costs.

We could ship out in 3-4 working days and the transit time is usually 5-7 working days.

Should you wish to return the old unit there would be a £350 refund on the unit price, provided it is as stated in the attached sales terms.

We look forward to hearing from you.



Kind regards
Julie Fryer

Customs, duties, GST ............... were another $400 plus. We picked up at the shipping agents - what a pain. I recommend getting a door to door quote.

Hi,
The quote is as follows.
845 GBP for the box outright (495 GBP plus 350 GBP for non return of box).
160 GBP for HD bearing upgrade.
250 GBP freight TNT door to door.
Total 1255 GBP or $2310 AUD approx.
There may also be some customs charges, not sure how much atm.

Hi Craig

Do some reading on here about some of the freight companies not playing fair, it seems some do charge for the privilege of looking after your imported goods while Customs get their act together.

.

I'd be hoping the freight would come direct to Darwin through Singapore. Everything that arrives via Sydney seems to get stuck there for weeks.

I haven't found the gear, although I keep trying as if it will re-appear.
I've only removed the panels etc.. so far for access and haven't removed the box in case I decide I need to move to a workshop (all other gears work, not sure if they'll hang around though.)
I'm not likely going to remove it until I have a replacement.

Is it common to have gearbox issues around 150k?

Mine had done nearly 200k. When I had the box out last year and engine to put in a new clutch and some other items the bearings etc all were fine. What has happened with my bearing is the retaining ring has snapped allowing the roller bearings to drop sideways. So far that is all i can see, but as it has done 200k I decided to replace the box.
Is there anyone local that may be able to take a look at it for you?
Cheers

Going TNT and by all reports are much better, but will have to see.

I'm just looking up local options this week, now that I have some references to go by. Thanks for the info, I'll be in touch.
