Mine gearbox is the same and has been for 100,000 km. 4th is quiet because it is direct 1:1 ratio and doesn't put load through the countershaft like every other gear doesz

The reality is, its not as easy as people think, if there is nothing to chase, where do you start. If it is an electrical fault, you could spend hours and hours searching for something that you don't...

A lot of bull crap and misinformation is spread online about these engines and works/doesn't work. It makes it a night mare for anyone trying to see good information about them. These are my...

Well a lot has happened since my last post, accumulated a few parts and almost ready to start building the engine. I've got my clutch/flywheel, H Beam rods to convert to 30mm gudgeons, td42t...

It's been a while since I've been on here and even longer since I've spent money on the patrol! But the finances have recovered after the new bike and its time to make the rig what I finally want.

Well, bit of a change of plans. A TD42 has come up at the right price, with all bolts ons, gearbox, radiator, shroud, cluster. So I'll be removing and selling off the engine, gas system and a few...

Could be the bush in the top of the gearbox just coincidentally broken. Pretty sure its just a plastic bush. Lost mine when i had the gearbox out the second time haha. Still drives fine. Just sloppy

Theres one in my gq. Great, done 50,000k towing 2.5t, mud, everything. Works great. Good feel. Still has heaps of life left!

Autometer make a good gauge so you shouldn't have a problem getting a new one. Specially for the price they are!
