euan_r Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 well i broke my box and investigated it today. this is what i found, general box missing teeth front diff the shinny bits is just the flash bouncing off the oil. obviously everything needs a good clean. the diffs all look ok (to me) its just that gear combination of driven/drove thats damaged. can these be replaced individually? box worked fine with no noises before. im going to get replacement box tomorrow but would this be fixable for a spare?, cars pretty standard i usually go to glenburgie but hes off today on his holidays for a week or so.

RA Dunk Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 wonder if it was stressed then. not half as stressed as you get at the thought of opening yer wallet! Link to comment

scooby222 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 going to shops sedatly. car hasnt been used much for a few weeks that explains it then,obviously it died in shock of being driven cannily this mean youve finally found something you cant fix with an angle grinder and baler twine min? on the plus side its still been off the road for less time than rich's Link to comment
euan_r Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) this mean youve finally found something you cant fix with an angle grinder and baler twine min? the drive damaged gear appears to be part of one unit which consists of shaft itself and drive gears of first,second,third and reverse. so unlikely to get replacement to be worth while fixing. will just get other box. having said that i could build it up with weld then shape metal using a small grinder. think this would work?

thefastone Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Good Effort... Oh dear... I'm sure that you may be able to get replacement parts... No reason why you cant remove the broken bit with teh Grinder though!!!!! Link to comment
euan_r Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 speaking of being tight, i had a thought last night. grind down second completely and block shift. who needs second anyway? Link to comment
thewelsho Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 ouch! Where have I seen that before...? Oh yeah, my box, nasty! Hope you get it sorted out soon mate. Link to comment

scooby222 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 speaking of being tight, i had a thought last night. grind down second completely and block shift. who needs second anyway? thing is, i know youl have considered it! Link to comment
euan_r Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 well replacement box is in and cars up and running again. this year i have learned how to remove gearbox and do clutch. this is third time in 10 months ive had to remove/refit gearbox. acid i have no idea what raf means. have you had your box out yet welsho? this one wouldnt even run in neutral, so i expected a lot of damage. i was surprised at how contained damage was. although fluid is shared through out, the internal ridges seem to stop debris spreading much. there is mechanism that circulates oil over center diff dy the looks of it though. you may be able to get your box repaired for not much £££ if your missing the burble, but then again you do have a penchant for track work.
