and1c Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 As above guys. I am keen to strip one of these down and see if I can rebuild it and make the tools as I go to enable stripdown/repair. If anyone has a noisy or bad one they want to get rid of, please let me know. Know it is unlikely, but seeing as no one over here can repair them, there must be some bad ones somewhere.

Luxluc Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 You are brave. Don't forget that some on the Getrag V160 / V161 parts have become discontinued. Big gearbox specialists (e.g. Jacks) start to get parts custom made for them. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But parts were available and they weren't V160s!... Such a shame they discontinued some parts, yes I am aware of this. Would try and source some off jacks or toyota, or possibly get something made if that was the only way. Got to see if I can find a willing patient first!!! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well I will keep an ear out, Also interested in a good one if anyone has an auto to manual conversion they want to sell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
