Gearbox problem
So recently i smashed the diff in my manual box on my gpx soo the question is what should i do some opinions would be awsome.
1. rebuild my gearbox.... only problem will a gearbox reco place be able to find parts for a jap import??
2.buy a 2nd hand box with warranty (if i do this i will be buying one with lsd) , do the splines mirror each other? do i have to change hubs? if so cant i just use my old cv on one end?
3.cj4a gearbox simply for the shorter ratios. i would love to do this but not enough info about it, what do i need to do this? how strong is this gearbox will it handle the torque?

Re: Gearbox problem
Depending on how badly you fucked the diff, just rebuild it. All the bits inside are generic Mitsi bits.
If it's bad & sent cogs all through the gears Detonationbustedfuckedittoblerone style, get a second hand one, reco it & put a LSD in it. You'll have trouble find one at a wrecker with a limo it.

Re: Gearbox problem
i found a gearbox whether its got lsd or not, its a facelift 97' i havnt got the code yet but i was reading somehwere that the facelift models have a slight shorter 2nd gear is it true or just a load of crap? im sure there the same boxes.Bennoz wrote:Depending on how badly you fucked the diff, just rebuild it.
