Cheers guys.

 

After getting off the phone with Woz, I'm gonna attempt to get away with only changing the center. Swap the crownwheels over if need be.

 

Anyone know if the bolts that hold the crown wheel on are left or right hand bolts?

 

I did a falcon one once at trade school. Noone knew it was a L/H bolt. I ended up snapping the head off it thinking it was R/H thread. Hoping to avoid that this time :yes:

So tonight was rather fruitful, for such little work

 

Took the rear cover off the diff and let the oil drain. Whilst slightly metallic, it wasnt anything to be worried about.

 

Spun the center around to look for the dead spider gears, and to my suprise, nothing was broken.

 

Got my mate to chuck it in gear with the clutch depressed. Spun the tailshaft and Voila, found my problem. BLOWN GEARBOX!!

 

So I'm off to Jason's place to pick up a 4K for the pano and a temporary 5spd. Looks promising to have the car back on the streets tomorrow afternoon :D

So does this 'temporary' gearbox come with a can of MECHANICAL SYMPATHY???

 

:P :yes: :P

 

Cheers,

Its gonna have to. Hence why I'm gonna be on the lookout for a KE70 4 or 5spd right away :P

 

Pretty sure i've nuked the main shaft as it doesnt like the tailshaft being rotated in any gear.

Ripped the blown box out and had a bit of a looksy.

 

Look mum, TREASURE!!!

Also finally got my badge after waiting ages for it. Fits nicely in the TE grille.

Seeing all those snapped gears reminds me of chillin's mishap. Snapped every gear clean off the pinion wheel. mmmmm Kelloggs gear-flakes :P

[SLO-030]

Just like a normal gearbox, ONLY CRUNCHY! :happy:

Just like a normal gearbox, ONLY CRUNCHY! :happy:

 

Hahahaha reminds me of my mates el xr6, the 1st t5 in it chewed every tooth of 5th gear and would only select 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th,

 

And sorta looks like my 1st welded diff when it broke too

[LXY-642]

Nice gears lol. Reminds me of when I stripped the reverse gear in my vl.

So the gearbox was finally in yesterday. As was the button clutch.

 

Damn clutch is gonna take some getting used to. Totally changes the behavior of the car.

 

Not keen on forking out almost $460 for a replacement thru Exedy. We live in hope for trade price :rolls:
