Hi
My trusted 4 speed box has no drive.
So its been towed to a garage where they have told me the diff has blown?
Can this be repaired?
Just i rang a bristol gearbox company and they said they couldn't help?
Can any one advise me what to do apart from by a new one. Its a good box be a shame to scrap.
gearbox diff! can it be repaired?

Just finished building a 4 speed box for sale today, call me after 3pm Wednesday, I'm off to see my brother on his birthday and collect some jobs from the engineers in the morning
Re: gearbox diff! can it be repaired?
i presume they have removed the gearbox from the van?
otherwise can they be sure its not driveshafts / clutch or other related?
if your stuck i should have a used box in gloucester , maybe just to keep you going?

FYI...the diff can be replaced seperately.. diff failure is pretty rare tho.

Re: gearbox diff! can it be repaired?
yeah box is on floor.
cluch is fine
drive shafts fine

they have opened up the box and have said its all smashed inside. what ever that means
new or replacement box will be needed
just there getting funny now because its taking up space.
pressures on.
