Hi Bushby, Thanks for the email. the rebuild is progressing slowly since i can only work on it every other weekend. I have bought all the seals and gaskets but still need to source a front input shaft housing that mates to the bell housing. I have a pdf manual from the web which is for the 5 speed b...

Hi Matt, No the gearbox was not noisy .This all started when i was changing the clutch . The bell housing and rear engine housing were both completely covered in oil and as such i decided to change the rear engine seal and the front gearbox seal. didn't know about the front shaft carrier being only ...

Hi Justin, Seagull,AL I could not find a socket thin enough so i had a engineering shop machine down the 35 mm one i had.(thanks seagull) Took it down to outside diameter of 45 mm Cost 18 bucks and they did a terrific job. I was able to undo the nut by holding the gear with a oil filter wrench (line...

Thanks for taking the time to write info AP,

Thanks Matt for taking the time to reply, The link you sent me is great(very detailed of motor rebuild will come in handy) but unfortunately does not have any info on gearboxes. When i finish pulling the box apart I will post some pics of the offending clip. Still looking for gearbox workshop manual...

Hi All - i have just began to restore a Brumby and I have started with Motor and gearbox. While trying to remove the retaining cover on the gear box spline I snapped it because i didn't know about it being retained by a circlip on the INSIDE of the box. After reading here i found out. I have searche...

Hi Guys, i cant believe i was trying to do the same thing today on my 1990 brumby. The 3 bolt retaining cover wouldnt come of so I put a pully on it and snapped it. Cannot find a manual for the box (have a basic gregorys 501 useless for rebuilding boxes) any ideas for info on rebuilding box. Have st...
