What's your patience like working on cars? Do you get frustrated easy?

 

....cause its a very fiddly job to re-build a gearbox, I don't plan on doing it again any time soon. One little slip and a clip come loose and shit goes flying around the shed. ;)

Give it a go if you think you've got the patience though.

It's true! If I recall correctly, last time I rebuilt a box I chucked a 3/8" extension through a galv fence in frustration. I'm normally pretty chilled... ;)

 

I'd be surprised if you can get a rebuild kit as such, but I could be wrong. You might be able to replace the bearings without too much trouble, at least some should be standard items. Shims on the other hand, you may have to make something to fit.

Yeah its the little clips and circlips that the sycros slide on that are the real killer.

 

Changing the rear bearing wouldn't be too bad. The front one on the other hand needs the whole gear set to come out first to get it out through the back.
