gear box refurbishment

[will930]

i have decided to keep my 1l transmission, but as i have a spare box i am looking to refurb it but ive been quoted £300-£400 for this

so if anyone knows anyone or here that can do it as i want to basically put in a fresh box with engine.

so all help will be great

Yours will be fine mate, £400 could get you some decent mods mate

Bigger brakes

Even a remap

If your worried about yours there's always my box which is fine

 

[will930]

well i was just going to get the seals and bearings changed in your to bang in when we do the engine... but i may just leave it and use yours but it will save any problems in the near future

 

[martinb]

I thought yours was ok now?

Have you thought about reprofiling your cams or a new set? More power is to be gained from that little beaut of an engine

What exhaust system do you have now mate? What about nos

Whats included in the refurbishment?

 

[will930]

New bearing and seals im affter could do it myself i guess and mine just feels hoorrible and no leaks thhat i know of i doont think. But if i do it myself with a kit it would be good experience.

Like im after it to last when i change engine with no hicups if this makes sense!

Damn phone lol

 

[Stani1029]

Thats far too much, i got mines done for £120 lol its who you know though eh

 

[will930]

i know its what you get for living around here everything is sky high!

what do i need for the rebuild? is there any like kits about? that anyone knows of which i could attempt myself?

as it would be a great lerning curve for me

 

[frank]

you can get bearings from a stockist will (there,ll be a number etched on) same for oilseals
but anything else will be dealer only
but the selector mechanism is a bit of a chinese puzzle tho

 

[will930]

does that usually want replacing? but never doing this before im anxsious about doing it, as i cant really afford to mess it up

g/boxes tend to be a specialist type job will tbh, but my k10 haynes has a chapter on stripping our RS5F41 type g/box, and the russian pdf has loads of pics etc (page 126 onwards)

 

[will930]

well ill have a look in my k11 haynes tonight

but at the end of the day i will only attempt it when im sure i know what im doing which is very much unlikely! so if i cant get enough info ill have to give it to someone else to carry out the work as i need this to last for a long time....

i must admit i do feel reasonably useless at this stuff, i learn it at uni and college etc but being stuck in a bodyshop and no where to do it at home i get no practise no matter how much id love to!
