Tranny Rebuild



A one man job with the right equipment

What a nice clean working area no tools, rags, oil spills on the floor, as I read and look at all the posts I have to ask ,in such an allegedly "over engineered and under stressed " machine like the Rockets are supposed to be why in Gods name do we have so many failures ,they should be unbreakable given the displacement of the engine and relatively mild state of tune 65HP per litre is not much but still we have multiple failures from a big gearbox pushing along 500Kgs or so compared to automotive manual gearboxes with bigger engines ,long tailshafts and 1500Kg to push along that seldom fail, it just doesn't make sense to me
 

Agreed...especially when a circlip installed backwards can KILL you!
 

You make good point Ken...but i can't do a 1st and 2nd gear burnout with the front wheels hovering off the tarmac in my ute ....
 

Yep again, won't go into 5th once its warm. At least there was no catastrophic failure this time. Done 13k kms since the circlip incident so it could well be something i did (or didn't do ) in the last rebuild
