Thread: Reco LT95?

I’ve searched the net and just keep coming to dead ends. I don’t have time(take me days) to remove and replace the gearbox myself at the moment, so I’m expecting the successful company will have a hoist/ transmission jack/ small machine shop and provide a warranty and complete the job in about 4hours? If not I may have to work something out at end of this shut down I’m on at the moment.
If you want to know, my gearbox is not really a sycro-mesh any more, more like a rando-mesh, sometimes good, most times bad and the transfer case is really starting to howl/grumble when I back off. I’ve messed with all the sorts of oil and now some additives, the results the same every time, I reckon it’s got a few thousand left in it yet, but I’d better start thinking of doing something about it soonish.
Thanks!

well i reccon a 4 hr turn around is a bit optimistic i would say maby 4 to strip it and 3 to remove and replace i think a transmission shop could do it, however they are best done with notice given to book it in, that way they can order a kit to rebuild it and have it all there, they get the ****s when you drop it off stuffed and say when is it doen, because its just stuck in the yard untill the parts come. if you want to go all out and make it easy for them you could order the rebuild kit your self and have it on the front seat when you drop it off, i beleave ashcroft transmissions in the uk sell a rebuild kit for that transfer case.

my self, i would also take it in to get done, they have all the presses and special tools to get it done, there is nothing worse than opening a can of worms and then finding you cant get the lid back on .

let us know how you go mate.
