best a an add in wanted for a sh box me thinks

oh come on mm, it's only a crushed bearing ringee thingee. The van ran ok even with that little bitsy witsy broken bit in the box. I'm an optimist as far as repairs are concerned. Aren't we all on here?

There are TWO kinds of people on here...........optimists...........and realists.

So what are you saying? FFS I've seen much worse repaired. Least we not forget the miserable pessimists wo dwell in these pages

weve also seen a lot of folk save a penny and spend a fortune , s/h box 150 ish +
mm

Had a look to find code. Typical worn lettering. Any chance of an id from the pics? It looks like WW0, but can't find it in brickwerks codes
Thanks in advance

code is stamped on bottom of box below reverse switch housing, other side of box to pictures, WWO is foundry mark, Wolfsburg I think

ok she's off. Can't see anything immediately. Little movement on main input shaft, as it should be I think. Hey nice feeling when it drops innit?

I can see an ABR 03 5 stamp. According to brickwerks it's 16l + 1,7l D. That'll explain why it always comes back on the dvla's system as a 1600.

And a little vid

So what's the plan batman?

replacement case end. Replace fooked bearings and surrounding seals/washers. probably have a look inside tomorrow. Will be taking pics at each stage so as not to forget the stages of dismantling. Well thats what I'd like to do, whether you think i should or not I'd like to know.

Hello,

If you can get all the bits, then go for it....

Plus there is the satisfaction of a personal build up...

However a s/hand box, a known runner is a safe bet for the price...

I would consult Aidan...

Cordialement,

I'm hoping he'll scan this thread again soon. If we all shout AIDEN he might come along .

Looks like the box had the same problem as mine did. Got to think how much the parts cost? Can you fit them? Special tools required? I thought about all that but decided to buy second hand. Picked up a good box for £100 replaced all the seals and cv joints. Guess either way it's a gamble.....

pinion bearing is shagged, damaged end case bearing, collapsed needle bearing under 1st gear, 1st gear damaged, 1stand reverse synchrohub damaged, plus all that debris has circulated, and the pinion shaft may be damaged where 1st gear bearing collapsed, repairable upto the first circlip grove
I haven't got any good used 1st gears (available new, on order, not cheap) or any good end cases, it's a full strip down to replace the pinion bearing

Ouch!
