SJ413 gearbox

(1/2) > >>

V8MoneyPit:
Went to pick up my new toy last night..... but left it with them! The gearbox was the worst I have EVER heard. I doubted I was going to make the 2 hour drive back! So I'm off again tonight with a trailer!

Spoke to KAP just now and he said £80 for a good used box  :shock:  :shock: I lurve this little thing..... being used to Land Rover prices, that is peanuts  :D

Has anyone fitted the paddle clutch? He recommended it while the box was out. Says it'll last 'forever'.

Evilgoat:
Was under the vit yesterday evening looking at the box and comming to the cunclusion it'd take no more than half an hour to get it out from there. Compared to the Audi which is a days work and involves removing the engine!.

I've yet to find any jon on it that looks as horrific as anything else I've had to work on. Alternator is a bit of a pig but thats it.

V8MoneyPit:
Thanks for the encouragement Rich  :D

I thought it looked an OK job. I'm not totally sure if it is the gearbox or transfer box that is making the noise. I'll get under it on Sunday and try to isolate the rattle. It actually rattles when the car is stood idling, so I'm not totally convinced what it is.

The chassis looks perfect. The body is remarkably sound too. Couldn't immediately spot any rust in the rear arches or sills. The bottoms of the doors are near perfect. The tailgate has a tiny amount of blistering along the bottom edge. The only major rust on it seems to be a hole in the leading edge of the bonnet. No major dents (not for long!). The interior looks clean (not for long!), but the hood could do with replacing at some point.

All the electrics seem to work with the exception of the interior light!

Just needs a bit of TLC as they say  :lol:

Evilgoat:
I had a godawful scraping noise, sounnded like a cutch spring or something, it cleaered after a week and I'm almost certain it was actually the alternator. Not stripped the old unit down yet but its not done it since it got a new one.
