Gearbox refresh and LSD install

[Jakeboy]

Looking for recommendations for someone to refresh my 182 gearbox and possibly supply/fit an LSD (road only, so likely go for a Quaiffe). Cheers

As above - NorthloopCup.

Didn't have an LSD fitted when he rebuilt mine - but he certainly knows his stuff.

Well as I’m sure you all know, I rebuild quite a lot of jc5’s, so when I was asked to rebuild a box that had covered 165,000 miles, I was expecting the worst.

Oh how wrong I was!! This gearbox is THE best one I’ve ever seen, and when you consider the mileage, it’s a unicorn! Lol!

Here’s some pics of the internals:

Still got points on reverse gear

Still has points on the dog teeth for 2nd gear, and zero synchro wear

Minimal wear on the selector fork for 1st/2nd gear

Nice pointy teeth on 3rd

Same goes for the selector hub...

Alex at AW Motorworks built my gearbox with an LSD. No issues at all after 15k miles.
