What would be the main cause for a 4x4 saph cossie to pop out of second gear ?

Ive got yums old Bara gearbox

 

does it pop out at any speed and revs? or when just giving it some? what was it like in YUM?

Just been readin up about mt75s and t5's, some t5s suffer with 2nd gear popping out, thats from the fork/sliders in the gearbox being worn.

The simplest thing i can think of is if the gear stick is being caught on the rubber boot and popping it out of gear

 

i havnt realy done any miles in it as ive only just put it back together. but it seems to be at lower revs and not realy under load. I havnt had a chance to try it under load as its not road legal yet.

There is no rubber boot on mine, infact, theres not alot of anything.

As far as i was told , it was fine in YUM and had a rebuild a couple of k before i got my grubby mits on it

 

could be worn detents, bent selector fork, bad syncro bulk rings, lots! will prob need a strip down to see, not an easy fault to find tbh

 

Not realy what i wanted to hear. Can you now give me happy thoughts please lol

 

lol, gearboxes are easy, ive just built my one (hybrid mt75, v6 bellhousing) you will have the box out in an hour and in bits an hour after that. then a few hours to fix it and put it back in

 

Ive only just put the box on , and i will be fucked if im taking it off any time soon lol. It was an absolute twat to get on.

the biggest problem was it was on my drive on stands, in the rain lol

What is Detent and what do they do ?

Your more than welcome to come down and do it for me..... I will pay you with a bed for the night and lots of tea

 

lol im not driving 500 miles there and 500 back! the detent is the ball and spring mechanism that holds the selector rod in its position. unlikley to be that thou. bent or worn selector fork id say, or worn dogs on the 2nd gearset

 

I will throw in some hobnobs ?.

I realy hope its nothing serious as this gearbox cost me a small fortune ( for me anyway ) and i realy cant aford to have to buy / payout to fix it.

 

really has to come appart to find out though mate, sorry to say. they choc hobnobs?

 

chaffe makes me giggle, where the fuck are you if your 500 miles away from sussex? shetland isles?

lol

 

dd10 mate, north east scotland, 520 miles from my birthplace of essex da ken far sussex is tbh lol

 

An essex boy oop north, very rare sight that lol

 

you can take the boy out of essex, but you cant take the essex out the boy! hence ive owned three escort turbos, a fiesta turbo, a nova, and now a sierra amongst other shit

 

They can be anything you want them to be.

Whats a 1120 mile round trip for some hobnobs ? i mear stones toss in the sea.

you could make a weekend of it

 

ill look forward to it lol, fuck it, ill take the saff, it only does 25mpg, thats only 250 quids worth of optimax

 

Cheaper to fly lol

 

get sore arms though

 

does it pop out when slowing down and on downshifts like roundabouts ?

if so i would say fork based,,,,, just hamfist it into gear and carry on which is the cheeper SHORT TERM option

ps: dont take my advice,, im on gearbox number 3 this year

 

LMFAO @ chaffe, ginge you too 4x4? i thought a mt75 wouldnt die at 350bhp no matter what shit you give it :/

 

I couldnt tell you as i havnt realy driven it as it has no MOT or Tax.

Thinking about it, on the short run its had down the track to the farm, it popped on on boost aswell as light throttle up a slope. So its safe to say it does it as and when it wants too.

 

Think im going to find somewhere to store the car and send the box upto Bara...

Not happy

 

Hi Boostmad,

My big tooth Quaife was doing the same after giving it a hard time at crail, sent box to Bara turned out to be bent selector fork.

Brian

 

Thing is Brian, I havnt driven the car yet realy, let alone given it a hard time. And it was sold to me in good working order...... hence my concern.

I would be too bothered it I had broken it but I havnt even had the chance too lol

 

So do you think you have been bum raped then ?

 

Starting to get the feeling I may have. But I shall reserve my judgement until I get a reply from him

 

Yeah this is very true, it is easier to swallow the repair bill if you have done the damage yourself.

 

even though money is tight at the mo its not just that. its the pain in the arse it was to fit on my driveway with no shelter, in the wind, rain and cold

 

Hope you get it sorted out and you aint been humped fella

 

For those that remember this thread.

The damage is as follows

1 x 4th Gear Inputshaft Pair

1 x 3rd Gear Pair

1 x Selector Fork

1 x Gate Plate

2 x Syncro rings

Ł1300

for a box i havnt even fucking driven.

 

Ouch!

Was it on anything between Daves and yours?

Seemed fine in his when I went in it only a couple of weeks before he broke it.


Was it barra that you sent it back to for the work?

 

the box i had from barra did the exact same thing.....after his fooking overhaul it didnt work....

i called him and the fingerpointing started....to a point where i threatened him with legal action and guess what, barra the little shit backed down and let his bill go.

EXACT SAME THING m8....

barra is a little fooker who never stands by his mistakes, its always someone elses fault

and why ? becuase he cannot check the forks or just doesnt do it apparently when he puts the boxes together.

lesson learned, going elsewhere now.

contact mike rainbird as he dealt with my old box and the new one, he knows who can do them decently.

 

Not good, I'd assume you'll have zero chance of seeing any cash back though.. doesn't make it any better.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Mike uses Phil Peacock I believe Michael.

 

Nope, i bought it from him pretty much as soon as i found out the car was being broken. I had it sitting around for a while before i fitted it.

Nope, and i just cant aford to have it sorted at the moment.

 

what u need to do is have barra repair it, threaten with legal action and sell the box.

thats what i have done.

chip, i really donno, mike got me a new one built at the same place that did his.

 

Thats shit mate Good working order

I know who id be having a convo with and thats the seller

 

Michael, its not always that easy with legal threats when you arent the original purchaser and its now a couple of years old.

 

can only speak of my own experience

bottom line though : DO NOT USE BARRA.

 

Your experience wasnt from buying a used secondhand one though, so he was in a different position with threats from you.

I know a few people who have used him and all been really happy (doug stirling for example) so I must admit im quite surprised to hear about yours (and this one)

Just goes to show that even a few good recomendations from people isnt always a guarentee!
