Broken LT77 56A_______G


Recommended Posts

Looks like I have broken my LT77 gearbox as 5th gear brings forth grinding noises and no forward motion.

This was an Ashcroft recon in 2008 and has done about 135k since then. I have just looked at the cost of another Ashcroft box and my wallet has gone into hiding. (£846 inc £200 core charge and £35 return carriage).

Has any forum member got a used box they are confident will work that they would be willing to sell to me for eBay money?

Does any forum member trust another reconditioner enough to recommend them? Assuming they cost less than Ashcroft.

If the vehicle isn't a daily and you can spend a bit of time then I'd recommend doing it yourself - i did this in the end after a few problems with reconned boxes and all has been well since (famous last words... :ph34r:)

There was an excellent guide on here in the tech archive which I followed (here it is), along with the workshop manuals and some random searches for specifics on this site along the way.

I have looked at the guide and decided that my fitter days are long past! (I've been an accountant/IFA for 30+ years). It is a daily, (20k a year), but I have access to alternative vehicles.

For the moment I have been promised a "known working" second hand replacement, just got to fetch it on Saturday, 170 miles each way.
