MV Tooth Extraction, at Weare Rally - Transmission Problems

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

Progress report, I've got the gear box all apart and everything else looks good. On the parts hunt so far I have found a source of multiple 3rd gears NOS $60 each which could be put on to the old lower cluster it would require press the unit apart and pressing the new gear on. In talking with that source they may have an NOS transmission the whole thing $1200 they are checking to see if they still have it. From another source I found two used transmissions that look fair to good $125 each.

The NOS transmission if it is really available I think is my preference though I will buy a replacement gear for the original box anyway so that it is a complete ready to use unit. With three trucks all sharing the same box having a spare would mean I probably will never have transmission problems again.

Once as this thread has turned out to be more about the transmission and less about the Rally, once I can figure out how to do it I'll move the thread over to the Restoration heading.

Cheers Phil
