thinking of getting my gearbox recons but the local bloke who does them said the 5th gear is hard to come by any know anywere that stocks them and how much?

 

the 5th driven gear is the one that you are talking about. you won't need one if the person taking the box apart does it correctly. it's only that they are very difficult to remove without chipping the teeth that people have needed to replace them and they are in scarce supply. i rebuilt a t5 box at home and managed without needing to replace one.

 

I have one here if required .

 

pm me a price mike

 

Elite Racing Transmissions.

 

been told by few people that 9 times out of 10 were you have to heat the gear up is fookes it

 

i've been told that 9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape

so how will you know that one you buy has not been heated and fucked up when removing it previously?

 

i want a new one not a used one

 

burton power, about £100 i think

we have never damaged a 5th gear when rebuilding t5 boxes i designed and made a special tool to remove the gear.get it rebuilt professionally and you shouldn't need one

 

that exactly what i was saying - i also built a special puller to remove it

 

Unless 5th is actually worn due to knackered syncro and crunching into gear.

Didn't notice any mention of the 5th being required just because the original will be bust on removal. Are people jumping to conclusions ??

 

without a specialy designed puller 5th gear is hard to remove so people cut it off and smash it off and buy a new one

 

trouble i have cos of my gearbox problem i can only use local companies in east anglia

 

shouldn't matter where they are roosie, a company is either professional or they're not. fair enough they may not have experience with the t5, but your first post suggests that 'your local man' does, and it seems he cannot get them off without breaking them. that to me is not very professional. it can be done as me and tony are saying, so if i were you i would either get him to make a special tool and take care when removing it and do the job professionally, or i would take it somewhere that can (or at least if they can't then they should pay for the new gear needed because of their inability)

 

we are talking about the 5th gear main shaft not the 5th gear lay shaft which is the one with the synchro hub
the 5th gear main shaft is an interference fit and has to be heated to a specific temperature to be fitted.
The 5th gear lay shaft is on needle rollers and slides off

 

 

it doesn't say that in the rebuild manual iirc

 

it needs to be heated to a specific temperature

 

if that's your experience tony, and it works well for you

i was able to press mine back on with minimal fuss

 

so not much interference fit on yours then, some are like that others are impossible to press on

 

there was plenty off interference fit when i was trying to pull it off

 

I've got the complete TREMEC rebuild manual if you want to borrow it to do your own Roosie ?

fook that just want to get it done and sorted
