Surely that sentence does not require a comma when addressing a person after a verb. :scratch:

Just know that he will pay, just can't remember if a hit and run is a criminal offence or not..
Hit and run is only a $175 fine and 3 points :? But they class it as leaving the seen of an accident not hit and run.

Bennoz the next time you do a gear box removal and tear down, any chance of a few pics and things to look out for, traps for total newbies like myself?

A guy in the US did a really good DIY on a Talon box, which is almost identical to ours. I'll see if I can find it.

Okay, I get the idea. Gen Y LMFAO.

In anything like a gear box tear down there are tips, tricks and handy tools used that can only be gained by hard learnt knowledge and experience at the tools, not a keyboard.

There are doers in this world and there are talkers, Gen Y ain't at the start of that sentenance sonny!

Taking a box out? piece of, done heaps of them before, the first one I did was on a Vauxhall. From minis to Kingswoods (that's showing my age)
A modern front wheel drive? nope never done one but it don't look too hard.
Okay so opening one up, that bit had got me thinking and when it comes to this part nothing counts for experience as far I am concerned. See when it comes to stuff like this Gen Y never seem to get that.

I'm not ashamed to admit I'm in new territory here and asking someone who's been there and done that and got the scars to prove it and more than likely learnt the hard way and has gathered massive experience in doing.
In my books this is a sensible thing to do! GEN Y LMFAO. Anyways enough feeding the trolls...

They're not hard to do at all. I've done dozens of them & i've got it down to about 4 hours now for a full reco.

The reality is, there's only 6 bearings in there. 1 on each end of the input & output shafts, and one on either side of the diff.

Then theres a few seals, 2 on the diff, one on the input shaft, and the one covering the circlip on the end of the box.

I should rip out my one and change them out, it's not like I am using the FTO as a day to day driver any more :D .
I can then do the main rear seal as well.
