    Food for thought - I'm now in same boat as your mate waiting for the solid piece to come back in stock early August (1/2nd August I believe Luke said he'd have them in) to order and fit

    Curious... Did u check your GB breather is not blocked?

    Update. TC is all OK. Waiting to hear on gearbox.

    LOF clutch order confirmed. Also think LOF output shaft is way forward.

    Got a price for a refurbished box from Ashcroft sent to NZ...just in case.

    Haven't spoken to the garage yet but got a couple of invoices. This doesn't sound very good.

    Commiserations! While the remedy is clear the cause isn't. Sounds like a reverse gear bearing failure? Any evidence of a gearbox oil leak?

    No certainly wasn't leaking and happened on drive home after on hoist for warrant of fitness inspection...no problems seen.

    Update: Ashcroft refurbed gearbox ordered and probably still a few weeks away. Missed out on a LOF output shaft but Luke knew my situation with truck off the road so found one for me and sent it over.

    Hi,

    this is not a common failure, do you know how much oil came out when it was drained ?

    Update: LOF extreme clutch, output shaft and refurbed Ashcroft gearbox fitted. Very expensive exercise but drives brilliantly.

    Got back from a month in the UK and happy to see the truck and dogs.
