Gearbox and Clutch

[whitestickle]

Hi everyone
I am puting a new gearbox and clutch in next week and any handy tip or advice would be great as i have only ever done this on cars not 4wd
thanks whitestickle

Remove the transfer case before you remove the gearbox, it makes the gearbox a lot easier to handle.

your lucky!!! the gearbox/tranfer assembly for a td42 weighs close to 200kg. it made me think twice about pulling it out myself

Hello, just a few curious questions...

What is the average life of a transmission... (of course varies on use of truck ie heavy towing, heavy off road...)

Is there transmission oil to regularly change?

What made you need to change transmission (apart from complete failure of gearbox)...

Thanks
