Andrew Cleland Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Dropped the gearbox on the D2 today as knocking noises suggested the DMF was on it's way out. Input shaft on the R380 points to a different source of the sound... https://photos.app.goo.gl/hYGfnPHNG3MFrxgO2 I imagine this is probably one for Mr Ashcroft's emporium...

steve_a Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 There's an outside chance it is just the bearing in the cover at the front, been a while since I've been into a manual, but from memory there is a seal and and race held on by the cover. It can be replaced without taking the box apart, you take the cover off and it all falls to bits. IIRC the race can't be done without taking apart, but the cage obviously can. However, I don't remember the input shaft coming free after removing the bearing, but it was ages ago (like more than 10 years!). It's out, so you may as well take the cover off and see if the bearing has disintegrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
