Hi Simon, If you are going that far with the gear box and lay-shaft. I would have ORS do the Stag conversion on your lay gear to 3 needle roller bearings cost £70> Buy the lay shaft only from them as they make their own. When I did mine last, I was supplied with a soft lay- shaft from a usual suspect and there are 50 odd in the market place, all waiting for the unsuspecting TR buyer? Some have already surfaced and caused their owners a lot of aggro???? If I am read your post correctly you have already replaced the lay shaft? If you did not do the file test on the edge of the shaft it would be very prudent of you to do that as 2 TR owners have informed that they were sold soft lay shafts and one had been fitted by the one and only TR Gearbox Guru!!!

TriumphV8 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Parts for the diff are around 150-200 GBP plus CWP where needed. CWP starts around 200 GBP and may cost up to 500 GBP, Gearbox is much more complicated because there are much more parts that can wear. Rough figure is 500 GBP if nothing is broken. Lots of bad parts are on the market, a friend recently got problems with new brass sync rings that failed after a few thousand miles. J-OD mostly has rubber rings in wrong size in the service set. Can be a pain to refurbish if you have to remove gearbox a second time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

simonjrwinter Posted October 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Hmmmmmmm, Ive just had to pay a bill of £2,500 for my gearbox and Diff to be rebuilt.
