Gearbox
The gearbox was stripped completely and inspected, it was found to be in very good condition, as you would expect from a unit that has covered just over 20,000 miles. The bearings on the main shaft were replaced as a matter of course, these are the ones most prone to failure. The other items such as selectors, syncromesh hubs, baulk rings, and the needle roller bearings between the main shaft and gears were all found to be in excellent condition. These were all cleaned and refitted. The diff was stripped a hardened pin fitted, along with a Central oil pick up pipe.
