dooroy Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 The gearbox in my 2001 Td5 with just 220K on the clock has become noisy - when I go into 5th gear there is a definite sound of a rough bearing (most of the time ) . Gear selection etc is fine - no problems at all there. I see Ashcroft sell a set of bearings for the R380 and I was wondering if changing them on a DIY basis is possible? Has anyone experience of this - or is there a possibility of there being shaft wear or other problems also ? Any ideas or opinions greatly appreciated .

sutty_32 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Try giving Andy a call at AW transmissions. He is a really friendly chap who got me all the bits to re-build a diff and went through the procedure with me step by step. He should be able to give you a good idea of what is involved.

Aragorn Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Theres a full strip-down and rebuild guide in the technical bit for an LT77, which is more or less the same. Its doable at home, but you will need some decent bearing pullers and some other bits and bobs to do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
