Yeah might as well its all done then. Any tips for removing think I might purchase a inner tie rod removal tool if not to expensive

No they flap in the wind lol no resistance to them.

Gearbox is out and sourced a replacement which I dropped off at Agency Transmission this morning to get checked over before refitting. Whilst most things are off I'm about to order new wishbones, track rod ends, steering rack bushes and ARB bushes all oem is it worth doing inner rods as well...

Yeah he said if everything needed doing that would be max. From threads iv read seems place to go (even if its miles for me) even can do circlip mod to stop that popping out if its the jc129 box. Be going down Monday.

Worst case £275 iirc

When I rang he said best bet is to send it as might be a couple of days. Iv read of people dropping box off and it being ready a few hours later. Gonna ring him Monday again to find out opening times (6am till 3pm I think Iv seen on here) and just have a drive down and if I have to drop box then...

It's about a 1hour 40min drive each way , would rather drive down to be honest hate waiting for couriers.

Hi guys, my gearbox died a few weeks back, iv sourced another one and wanting to send to Agency Transmission before re fitting. Never sent anything that size do I just need to wrap In bubble wrap and cardboard or is it best to strap to a pallet.

If the speedo rises still once in gear but no drive I believe it's the circlip, someone with more mechanical knowledge might correct me on that though.

Yeah from what iv been told, if ph1 or early ph2 with no drive tends to be circlip. It looks like an easy fix. It was first thing I checked on mine but sadly weren't the problem be warned once it goes it tends to keep going after, solution seems to be weld the clip in or I believe there is a...

Cheers buddy. Just to confirm which box is it mines a 02 plate 172 jc5129. If you want to pm me your PayPal details il send money tomorrow and let you know when a courier will be picking up.

As much as I like cider that's a long drive for me lol. Any chance of me/you arranging a courier if that's ok?

If its the right box yeah that would be ideal mate. 100% sending any box I buy for a rebuild before refitting. Where you located?

Finally got box off and think its obvious why it kept stalling and get stuck in gear. :(

Just read some reviews sounds promising. Think I'm going to have a go getting box out this week/weekend. Spinksy is round corner from me if I get stuck :) Think Agency Transmission is about a 2 hour drive away so don't know if I should send box off or plan a day out with girlfriend conveniently...

Thought as much :( Recommended places? I believe you have had one rebuilt by Agency transmission? How was turn around time and cost?

Ok so manage to get driveshaft out and took photo of where circlip is. Not really sure what I'm looking at but from other pictures it seems to be all intact. However on the driveshaft there was allot of metallic bits mixed with oil (see photos) :( something has gone and been grinding away I...

Just ordered some new oil, will try this and update later, thanks for suggestion. This is the great thing about this forum always plenty of people to help and offer advice.

Hi guys, Been searching and reading for last couple of days but not been able to find anything. Basically last week or two the gear stick had excessive movement and started coming out of 2nd gear under load. I changed the dogbone mount hoping this was the cause but just before I did I started...

Spinksy won't leave with out you pal as I have no idea where I'm going yet lol. Just checking through thread to see time we setting off etc.

Fitted rear springs and dampeners this evening. Going to fit fronts in morning. Was going to order rest off bits but woman I was fitting a kitchen for has screwed me out of money and when i polity asked for money for what iv fitted up to yet she refused and said will pay when all completed got...

Spinksy I don't mind grabbing banner off you buddy tomorrow at some point. Iv changed rear suspension today and noticed I have a cracked disc! Sticking calliper to blame so trying to sort that as well now lol.

Will do pal :)

Spinksy yeah I'm good for meeting at services etc to go in convoy. Il pop up to yours and follow you down.

jaysmith sorted matey just done it now :)

LP2 TWO orange Clio. Girlfriend spotted so not sure if it was an inferno. ND02 JRV grey 172 with cup spoiler maybe a cup. Needed a clean but was a grey kind of colour never seen one before looked well. Followed down Bawtry road around 7:00pm today.

Reg ended .... OCK

182 cup silver on Skellow road around 3:00pm looked good.

Very similar spec to mine but I have ed cams. I'm looking at itbs in August so if you still have it by then il let you know difference. Mine is running 189hp with decat and btb stealth at the moment.

jaysmith just kindly reminded me of this, me and other half will make this one so Spinksy wont be the only car this time lol. Il book and confirm in morning.
