Murphy and the gearbox

Yup he slapped me with some serios dick again, the cracking sound I was driving with for the last few months was a stripped gearbox, getting it fixed this week.

interesting!!!

i've heard these boxes are bulletproof. but then again, they are 15 years old on average!!!!

i guess they cant live forever!!!!

let us know where, and how much, the cost was??? i'd be interested in that, as i frequently abuse mine too!!!!

I second veecee's notion, please let us know how much and where 😀

Maybe we need a sticky somewhere that lists average prices for various fixes? This would help the noobs like me budget for our next step / fixes as oppossed to having a heart attack when our mechanics suprise us with hefty bills 😂

I am still waiting for a quote, hopefully today!

Ummm if you don't come right try Centurion Gearbox and Diff, they apparently do a boatload full of Nissan 1tonner gearboxes each month, and those gearboxes are nearly exactly the same as ours.

I think most gearbox places can do it, it's just to get a good price and proper service....

I have had my car sx for less than a week and it seems my clutch needs to be replaced now not sure wat it is my mechie gonna check it out tonight.

SO as soon as you get a quote let us know.

Shot

maybe it just needs bleeding? my clutch gets abused big time and its still holding (original as far as i know, maybe not, maybe, but on the other hand, naah I'll stick to my first guess)

or what if...

anyway, welcome! did you buy it new or second hand?

bought it second hand

nooit! 😀
you'll see why nobody answers my questions around here!
you have been initiated...

my work here is done

Wat can I say ask a stupid question.

Ok I got a quote, R3500 and I will recieve the gearbox tonight.

Ok gearbox in, took a while with some stupid little murphy shit, he tried to screw it up but we got it right....in the end I did.....

Thanks to Freddy helping to take it out and to Riaan getting the gearbox done and helping me putting it back.

I need to run it in a bit to see if it is ok and get my clutch setting right then I am up and going......just for intarest sake 2 gears and all the bearings were screwed, the bits of the gears that stripped went into the bearings.
