Good job Stephen, I learned a lot by watching your video, I like the way you work, it shows the real work of a mechanic, I have to repair the same gearbox. thank you so much. Joël

With stuck circlips, it can often help if one uses a small drift, punch, or screwdriver to tap the clip in it's groove, it can unstick the gunk that's holding it and/or relase the pressure if the bearing, or shaft, is loading it. [edit, 'cause I got to that bit] A little more force than that... When using pullers, it can help if one has the shaft vertical* - sit the bellhousing on the floor (may need a couple of blocks if the input shaft is too long) and rest the gearbox on it on end. Making up a bracket from some scrap bar/angle iron that bolts to the bellhousing face, and that can be clamped in a vice, or hold the gearbox on the bench, can be quite helpful. *Same thing with fitting camshafts into push-rod engines - especially bigger 6 cylinder in-line ones - if the engine is sitting on the bellhouse end one can carefully lower it into place, rather than trying to hold it up and work it through the bores.

Great videos, I have a loud jingling noise in 4th and 5th gears only, would that be the syncro rings failed?

Thanks so much Stephen. I have a horrible vibration (feels Something is throwing the prop out of true) especially above 50mph and when I have just come off the throttle. I have had the diff rebuilt, Ive balanced the prop, now its gearbox time! I have around 0.25mm of out of round on the mainshaft? i guess that would be enough to throw the prop off?

How do you strip down the mainshaft?

know how to tell me the maximum power that this gearbox supports?

i wish you could fix my gearbox
