Steve P Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Good evening Gents, I have the gearbox out at the moment. When a gear is engaged and the output shaft is rotated rapidly forwards & backwards I can hear a nice rattle from the gears. Reverse & 4th seem to rattle a bit less. I have no experience with gearboxes but I'm guessing that any play in the gear train should be barley perceptible? Anyone had a Moss refurbished gearbox?

GT6M Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Hello Steeve, need moer info just what is rattlin aboot, the actual gear on the shaft, and which shaft, main or counter the gears when locked into mesh with the syncro hub the gap between each gears teeth the gap between each gears faces,{free play / backlash} is it forads / backwards movement is it rotational movement All gears have a wee bit of play when meshed there shud be v v little play of the gears sideways movement, as this would indicate worn bushes same to for back,n forads play, this would indicate thrust / backlash settings all wrang A wee film clip could show whats moving better, M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve P Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Managed to get a good look at the box this evening. Its clearly evident that the input shaft bearing has gone plus the splines have worn. So has anyone had a Moss or Rimmer Bros refurb gearbox? Thanks Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 HI Steve, why not get yours rebuilt? Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm interested in the answer regarding decent replacement g/boxes - if the car isn't in regular use then i can see the attraction of rebuilding your own, but personally i'd prefer to get a decent replacement to minimise down-time for the car. .....

Steve P Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Good morning Roger, I do have someone in mind for the gearbox however a refurbished box for £500 seems quite reasonable. Hence can anyone who has tried one please let me know what your thoughts were? Thanks Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
