    How'd it go for you mate??

    Moved house and had no internet for the last week

    Removed the transfer case on Thursday night and dropped it into Rockingham Auto and Manual Trans and they installed the gears for $350, thats a bargain in my books!
    Installed on Saturday morning and has made a huge difference, top speed in first is 3-5 kmh. Second gear is about where first used to be, top speed in 5th is 45-50 kmh so still good for sand work

    Cant wait to test it out on some big hills, thats when I will feel the biggest improvement. Almost certain I made the right choice with the 43% reduction

    Didnt take many pictures, but here is a couple of it going back in. Its a heavy sob and my mates atv lift stand was perfect for the job

    Cheers, you could say that!

    Did it all on my own and took about 3 hours to get it out and maybe a little more to get it back in

    Paid $1215 plus 65 freight. I contacted a few local marks 4wd dealers and their prices were the same so went direct.
