  1. I did, but thought it would be out of my reach. Thanks.
  2. Not visible to my eye, but the camera picked it up. Macro lens Anyway, I've dressed that up as well, and reassembled the thing. Including the selector rod, but not detents, yet. I've done enough for today, turned my back on the mess and walked away. I think I've a decent overdrive, bar the input gear, and that will have to do. Such a shame no one is making new parts for them, but no demand, I suppose. Why do they fail ? Weak design or lack of lubricant? The overdrive is above the transfer box filler so must rely on drip lubrication. What's the problem with overfilling the transfer box? It's got a breather so it won't blow the seals.
  3. Damn. No, no I didn't see that. I'll strip it down again.....
  4. Well, it feels okay now, so I've buttoned it all up and will do the selector stuff in a minute.
  5. And, so a bodge. The macro lens showed a crack and, as the last thing I want is bits of metal rumbling around in the overdrive I ground back to the good metal.
  6. And I've not got a good one of those, or so it would appear.
  7. Ah. It wasn't the layshaft. It was the input gear.
  8. The third one going in, as the transfer box gear is available, should it wear. Plus the lubricant is better for this gear set.
  9. Next, the output shaft. The first one has tooth cavitation against the layshaft. The second has syncro damage. The third has surface corrosion on the output gear.
  10. First, the main shaft. I've a better one now so that's going in. Less wear on the input gear bearing surface.
  11. As I've now got a larger selection of parts I'm re-examining the bits I rebuilt the overdrive with the first time.
  12. Yep. Modern cars are very good. In general. Nicely boring.
