Thread: JB's 1963 2A Build

Speak to Murray at Four Wheel Drives in Hallam (he works Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays).
From memory it'll cost about $2K ish as long as nothing major is needed.

Most 'reconditioned' boxes are stripped, damaged parts replaced then put back together. The hope is it'll last the warranty they give.
Some parts are difficult/expensive to replace so secondhand parts are used.

Fred Smith in Bayswater may also be able to help.

In both cases get them to commit up front to the strip down & rebuild cost, everything else will be charged as required.

I did my own Isuzu C240 powered Series 3

The box had been 'rebuilt' but synchro springs had broken, others were worn, a rusty bearing was replaced along with seals & gaskets.
In the above thread somewhere is a picture of the tool I made to undo the nut that's butchered on your gearbox.

If you get the old nut off and buy a new nut & lock washer I'm happy to pop round and tighten it for you (I don't tend to lend tools out due to past experiences, plus as you get older you forget who's borrowed what.....).

Best of luck,


Colin

Hi Colin
Thanks so much for doing that very generous of you. $2k is not an option for me at this stage as the motor needs rebuilding so at this stage I think I will open it up further per your post and inspect, replace the end nut get you to pop over to tighten🙃
I'm unsure of the box as the car was not running. We think it's done 35,000 miles the clutch was stuffed but the oil besides some water looked OK. I think l have to roll the dice on it.
Cheers
