Syncro Gearbox (More pics)

Talking about perfection...

I have to take my gearbox to pieces again!!

There is a weird noise coming from the gbox when 2nd gear is engaged... I will try to record a video and upload on youtube to show you...

Serves you right for fitting a decoupler ....

[Macflai]

The decoupler will be there always, and with my decoupler I will make you feel embarrassed... don't worry... time to time.

I first engage 1st gear and ok... then I engage 2nd and the noise appears... the more you accelarate the more sound, until the gearbox is not developing torque, then the sound almost dissapear...

Sorry for my english... as soon as I go to UK I will go to a language school...

Let's see who knows about this... Anyone recognize this?

Crown wheel tooth?

Crown wheel tooth?

No señor, it's 2nd gear tooth, I think, and I say "I think" because the gbox has not been took to pieces yet. Tomorrow I will finish. This tooth was dancing inside and I could get it out from the gbox... On Thu I will be driving to UK, hope Aidan has also 2nd gear kits

It looks curved in the picture, and aren't the gear teeth (1st, 2nd, etc) straight cut? I'm gonna go with above guess as well...

Better show that to Aiden Thursday.

Well, I have finished today. The tooth comes from the mainshaft... so I have to change the whole shaft and the 2nd gear. 2nd gear is okay but sure is not 100% okay, so is better to change also.





That shaft and also the 2nd gear comes from the AAN spare gbox I have. Now I think use second hand parts and used parts are not a good solution if you want your gbox last for some time without problems.

Hope Aidan have the parts I need, if not I will have to check rest of Europe shops and ask via internet.

From Classic? What you mean? VW Classic Parts? They dont have what I need...

Well, a simple Land Rover is better than a simple T3 Syncro,

..until you need to climb up around very sharp hairpin bends, like up to Vilaflor in Tenerife Then the Syncro tight steering lock wins everytime, leaves Landie over-running corner

Would love to have our Syncro in Tenerife, but too much € € € € €

Well, bad news trying to get the parts I need, I think I should have gone to Germany instead England

That also means I will have to ask the parts via internet and pay customs here in Spain... at least I am enjoying here with some friends... I still have green blood running in my vains (Land Rover)...

Tomorrow I will drive to Wales!!!!!...

Well,

This afternoon I visited Aidan Talbot. What a great guy!
We were talking about gboxes and looking for solutions for my gbox. I have now parts to fix it. Only need to wait for the 4th gears kit...

Nice! Watching developments as I ready to finish removing my gearbox.
