dailysleaze Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Changed the gearbox oil as changes were a little notchy and this fell out. Strange, as the gearbox works fine in all gears (slightly notchy in 2nd) and the new oil (MTF-94) has made it just like new. It can't be a drive gear as they're helical. Reverse? Looks like it's sheared off on one side, but it's smooth at the ends and there's a lip on the inner edge. Stumped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 What the hell has fallen out of my gearbox? I'll guess around £395 exchange Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Part of a synchro hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailysleaze Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Part of a synchro hub? Ah yeah, think i've found it. 3rd/4th Synchro hub. It's one of the 6 inner segments that's come off. I'll guess around £395 exchange Well i wouldn't mind having a new gearbox.... Presumably though the thing will still run quite reliably; just maybe 3rd or 4th might miss a beat when engaging sometimes? Well, i think i'll convince myself that for the moment.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 ^^^ Been there and done that Carry your AA Card at all times, you'll find your ears learn to tune in to the gearbbox, and you'll over the next weeks and months become obsessed with it with every noise bump or ratlle that the LR makes as the "Oh God - this is it" type thoughts. Then - one day when you are not thinking about it : http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=48252&st=0&p=439374&hl=gearbox&fromsearch=1entry439374 Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
