Well! It was to cold but we soldiered on! Got the case split to find that the main shaft needs a new bearing and there is a large tooth missing from on of the cogwheels at the diff end! The box is pretty good other than that!:wink:
It is also less than a month off the age of the car so it is worth persevering with it!
It will however probably need to go to a specialist to get new shims when we chnage the diff wheel! (not sure of technical terms!:oops: )
The plan is to get her up and driving in a few weeks to go to Hayden at Panelkraft for a few bits or rear end work, after a slight shunt in Cornwall!:twisted: But this is looking less and less likely eith this box any time soon!:roll:
There is also some where on 1st gear where they have obviously crunched into 1st whilst still moving! This is very slight though so we plan to leave this!
All that is left after that is the 30 horse engine!:wink: :lol:
