Split the engine and box tonight with mixed results. just had a couple of questions with regards to what i found in the gearbox.
when i removed the diff i found the output shaft flanges were badly worn and the bushes in the output shaft housing were buggered badly and this combined i beleive caused the worn rubber uni joints to flog against the gearbox housing under load.
i was certain this was the only cause of the grinding noises i heard. now im not so sure.
there is quite a bit of metal floating around inside this gearbox and im no expert but the first and second gear syncros looks pretty worn. the box does grind on the odd occasion in first and sometimes in forth if you shift to quick but otherwise the box was performaing well until the grinding noise just the other week, which prompted me to remove it from daily driving.
whats your opinions guys. should i clean it out and just refit it with new gaskets and seals, repair the output shafts & bushes etc, and pray the box will go for a few years.
or should i wait, save up and recon the gearbox.
