  1. Guys, is the Ashcroft kit the only way to convert the LT230 to part time 4WD?
  2. ok guys... the box i purchased works fine...... finally able to reverse again! However I believe I overlooked something in my rebuild that Snagger sort of brought to my attention. I reused an old 1/2 synchro from another box.... this was not new as the reverse gear i installed..... maybe this could of resulted in my problem. This synchro gear is hard to source in my country and I am thinking now that the meshing of the new reverse gear on the old synchro gear maybe was just not compatible. I can actually feel the difference in engagement with this gearbox in reverse without yet even driving it. It goes in and is much more snug and firm. Anyways thanks for all the feedback, it was really useful.
  3. well i did put in a new shaft, idler bearing and gear.... no luck there. I changed the shifter, maybe its a little better but still popping out. Today i bought a used box, suffix D its in pretty good shape. Scrap it, clean it out, replaced the reverse shaft and it is pretty worn, hoping to have done by tomorrow, will post an update then.
  4. I believe the gears are not manufactured properly so the tiniest wear anywhere throws it off. I will try replacing the selector fork as I have not yet done this. Thanks
  5. Guys, a bit late.... but anyone got the solution to this problem????
  6. I have recently rebuilt a Series 3 suffix B gearbox, with needle bearings reverse gear, all bearings were replaced, rev gear, bearing and shaft, 1st/2nd synchro, mainshaft bushings. Everything is fine otherwise, but reverse gear keeps disengaging once it starts to take up any load. If i try to hold it in with my hand it still kicks out with a heavy crunch. On repairing the box I notice that the reverse gears keeps biting on 1st/2nd synchro gear, and there are visible signs of contact with these 2 gears as chucks of each are missing. A guy advised me once to replace the rev gear needle bearing with a bushing specially made in a machine shop.... this did work but the bushing did not last long and the rev gear starting bouncing out again. Any suggestions anyone????
