EOI - Mini DIY gearbox day

Post by Bennoz »

Guys, seeing as I'm about to do my annual gearbox rebuild, was just curious to see if anyone was keen to watch & learn.

I can demonstrate:
- How to open & strip down the box
- How to press bearings on & off
- How to check tolerances
- How to check for wear in syncros & gears
- How to shim the diff (or swap out a diff if adding an LSD)
- How to reassemble inc. torque settings

I'll also be doing a clutch removal & inspection & at this stage, looks like I may be doing a full clutch replacement.

Am happy for other members to work on their cars as well, will be happy to give mechanical advice, however I will be focussed on the gearbox.

Also thinking BBQ & beer as per usual!

If we get enough interest, I'll move to NSW section :)

He'd either end up being forgotten and left to look at the gearbox while everyone was eating and drinking, or would get passed around at crotch level. Otherwise, not a bad idea :lol:

    I brought 2 back down to Melbourne on the "cute" trailer for nacho and it took two of us to lift them off the "cute" trailer.
