Gearbox advice please

[.Kev.]

Decided to pull the old girl out of retirement but im sure the box is on its last legs as is the clutch (grinding while selecting 3rd ). TBH though 106,000 miles on the original box and clutch aint bad going IMO.

Thought about getting the Yanoo linkage and short shifter kit to see if things improve, if not whats the best option.

1.Recon the original box
2.Get a Kangoo box fitted for a good price £250ish.

Advice please?

Rebuild imo then you know what condition it's in unlike buying another box.

I'm in pretty much the same situation, gearbox crunches quite abit and theres a fair amount of play. I've gone for the Yanoo linkage and brass bush option to see whether this cures the problem..

Should hopefully have it fitted tomorrow so will let you know!

Kev, you would feel better the grinding with my gear linkage conversion kit. First rebuild your gearbox. After it's done, fit my gear linkage conversion kit.

Adie, I'm afraid it won't cure your gearbox. This kit can stop the play and give a direct shift feel but cannot heal your box. Moreover, you may feel more crunches due to the modified gear linkage has less damper effect, it can transfer more crunches via the linkage. It's hard to describe how it works in real, but try to imagine that you can feel in your palm what happens in the gearbox when you're moving the gear stick. If the synchro rings are worn, it's time to change them.

Agency is your solution.

 

[Silent_Scone]

My 'box sometimes crunches into 3rd.

Would I be better of getting this refurbed whilst doing my Turbo conversion?
