Taz_Rx Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 After blowing my second gear box early last week, I decided to try and make 1 good gear box out of 2 stuffed ones. we pulled them apart on the week end, the box i just blew only had 2/3 of the teeth left on a couple of gears and the other one had a bent shaft through the smaller solid gear set. so it took me about 5 hours last night by myself to put it back together, the hardest thing was getting all the little syncro engagement slides into place :P . I ended up trying to put it together about 3 times and would have to pull it all down again and start again. anyway, I felt quite proud of myself when I was all done, cause i had no idea how to rebuild a gear yesterday morning, now this morning I could do it blindfolded!! ;) has anybody ever tryed to rebuild on of these befor??

Medicine_Man Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Can't say I have, But would be good if someone could upload a photo reference of how to do it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I would have taken a whole heap of photos while doing it if I had of thought of it. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottKE1X Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 This is one of those things i would like to know how to do but never do cause it seems too hard. I have spare box's so i just keep swapping them... well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I think just getting in there and having a go with no idea what you are doing is a really good way to learn.:P wouldn't mind trying to find some REALLY cheap or free stuffed box's to rebuild now.

Josho Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 has anybody ever tryed to rebuild on of these befor?? Well done dude! A while back I swapped all the internals from an old KE35 K40 I had laying around into mine after blowing a few teeth off the cluster shaft, and seeing as most of the gears from the KE35 box were better than mine I just swapped everything over. A fair bit of trial and error was used putting it back together, but I got there in the end. Only had some trouble getting the selector forks all right. ;) :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac101 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 (edited) i totally agree with taz about getting in and having a go to learn things. as long as you take notice when u take things apart. however spings and washers can be a problem...lol... don't let this put anyone off doing they own work on their cars. it great i no nick will agree with me. :P Edited May 5, 2006 by tmac101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost+k Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 yea i did one years ago with no idea what i was doing the only problem i really came across was those little ball (or rod?) thingies that stop you from putting it into more than one gear at a time.. took me ages to get them right :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
