They should be able to fit a new clutch for just over the cost of the clutch, since they have done all the work in getting the box out.
I'd go for a new clutch. You know then you are good for another 73k.
You have a good price for the gearbox re-furb, I thought something in the order of £1000 for a gearbox refurb, how long for them to do it?
Great that you are keeping the motor.
best regards, Rustic

I'm not to sure how long it'll take & when I can get it in but going to see them next week as the place is about 15-20 miles awway so they can have a lissen to the box to make 100% I get queted the correct price :roll: I was thinking it would be about 1K so if it's going to be cheeper i'm very pleased.
As for replacing the T2 we have been thinking long & hard about it & have had a look whats on the market :roll: all of the T2's we have found have either been high milers, scrapped to death in carparks really tatty trim with splits/tears bits snapped off etc & quiet a few 52 plates had the same amount of rot that mines got 8O So we are going to get it sorted out & run the T2 for at least another 2 years to get our moneys worth out of this nice bill & pray she don't kick up wanting more new bits :roll:

Refurb vs recon - new clutch vs no clutch?

Hi again Sweety

If its any consolation I just replaced my '96 T2 box with a 12 month guaranteed recon. unit imported from U.K. to France for 725 pounds, added a new clutch unit for 120 pounds (its folly not to replace it while the box is out) and had the lot fitted locally for about 250 quid. That sounds like a lot but over here good LHD T2s are in short supply and cost a lot more than twice the average U.K. equivalent price, so it is worth it for me.

Regards CL

Bit of an up date :roll: Went to see a garage today about getting the box repaired but have changed my mind on this garage as the price was jumping ie £550, 800, 1000+vat 8O :roll: & the lad in there did'nt seem very keen to do it & seemed to be trying his hardest to put me off getting it done there :roll:
Anyway on the way home I noticed the box has gone quiet 8O 8O 8O which has got me puzzeled, I know I have'nt went very far in the T2 lately & have been taking it easy in 1st & 2nd. The only things i've done since getting the noise was to over fill the box by 1/2 litre of oil & give the prop shafts a really good greasing :? Could it have been a semi dry UJ thats been the prob & caused the vibration & a noisey bearing sound & it's just took some time for the grease to get into the moving parts :? :?

I'm praying it is m8, but going to give it a long run to get the box oil really hot to see if it stays quiet :roll: I think i'm over due some good luck with this motor :roll:

Did you put any Molyslip in?

 

[Deleted Member]

So we might be seeing you this weekend after all??
And as paul asked,did you??

 

[Deleted Member S]

No never put any molyslip in, I do have some but it's for the rear diff & that will need doing before the winter :roll: It's just got me how it's shut up :?

Think i've broke it again I went out laning today & used 4H & 4L & all seamed fine untill we set off home when I noticed the noise & vibration was back again :evil: :evil: :evil: Now I used the 4WD in the floods with no probs apart from trans wind up but the g/box has been nice & quiet untill today :? i'm going to regrease the props again & change the oil's as I had'nt got around to doing it last time.
Could it be the transfer box :? any ideas most welcome as i'm getting a bit sick now

Re: gearbox whine

It happens when in gear from 1st - 3rd TBH it's not as bad as last time but it's there :evil: only seems to happen after being in 4WD for some time :?

i would do a gear oil change and see if it makes any difference.start with the simple things.
