					EDM = Electro Discharge Machining, otherwise known as Spark Erosion.  If I understand the process correctly, the part is suspended in an electrolyte fluid and an electrical currect is used to 'wash away' the metal in the precise shape required.  It's very effective for this sort of thing because it doesn't heat affect the surrounding metal, and leaves no burrs etc.  (EDM is used often nowadays for cutting the rifling in barrels because of the smooth finish it produces.)

 It was done by a mate-of-a-mate for a slab of beer (that 'orrible VB stuff),  [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]   but there'll be plenty of places in Melb that will do it for you.  I would expect to pay the best part of $100 officially, but surely a 'cash deal' :wink:  would be significantly less.

					Well after finding out mine was stuffed i thought overhaul time.
 So i'm going to do the gear and seals/gaskets in the transfer, Main shaft and seals in the LT77S, Clutch (replacing with 130, its heavier) and rear main seal.
 They dont leak, but id be stupid not to do them all.
 
 Clutch was done not long ago, but i dont want to pull it down to have to do it again in 30,000km.
 
 So Ching Ching Time...
 Prices have been good so far from Karcfaft.

					Does that gasket set include the O ring for the transfer box intermediate shaft?  If not, it's worth doing as well.  If it's not leaking already it will do shortly after you put the box back in.  Guess how I know! :roll: 
 
 The only difference between the 130 clutch and the standard jobbie is the diameter of the driven plate.  The pressure plate (and hence clamping pressure) is the same, just over a slightly larger surface area.
 
 Sounds like you've got some fun ahead of you.  If you need to increase your repertoire of swear words let me know.  I have a huge list I went through last time. :wink:
