Hi All,
quick update, Got the gearbox out today, just loosened off back axle and torque tube and pulled the axle back offa the rear bumper.
found a few things rear mount had turned to mush, main gear linkage loose, reverse linkage worn, clutch release was wound on to tight?! , ( not by me)
first motion shaft bearing worn, selector forks loose. clutch was like polished marble and rock hard ,signs of slippage, I managed to match a clutch OK,
compared my box to replacement box ( out of a 47 convertible ) found a couple differences, rear mount differs, no provision for a front mount.
do You need a front mount at all?, reckon I could make my own mounts if necessary
thanks Paul
