These gearboxes are usually very reliable, I have been off-roading with several members who have owned Mistrals and they are very capable, I wouldn't criticise the cars or gearboxes in general, it's just Pete has has a couple of bad experiences - all behind him now!

But it does look like you need a new tyre mate

Fantastic job in what look difficult working conditions

solarman216 · 03-04-2011, 20:54

did not find the real cause of the problem, other than the reverse clutch was burnt and slight metal showing on one plate, I suspect a valve was passing low pressure to this clutch when it should not have been as the clutch would not wear to this extent normally, when I have some time I will go through the valve block in detail and see if I can find it, although it looks a bit chaotic with new gaskets and seals and clutch parts it could be rebuilt, if there was a demand and the bits did not prove to expensive, Petes pics number 20 is the rear G/Box section where the parking pawl is located, Rick

Lovely but three phase, I do not have that, but a nice idea should lift a T2 as well as it is rated 2800 kg, will keep an eye on it, see what it goes for, doubtful a single phase motor will handle it, Rick
