well,

i bought a 2wd gearbox a little while back on the basis that it had a suspect 3rd gear issue as it had locked/jammed in 3rd.

anyhow, i was fiddling about with the gear selector and it sounded a bit clonky with no attempt at it actually trying to dissengage gear, so i removed the selector cover and found the big nylon bush had worn to excess and allowed the bottom of the gearstick to pop out of its location.

with it all exposed, it engages every gear perfectly when doing so by hand, proving it was just the issue where it had dislodged itself and the gearstick not actually doing anything.

i put the selector back together without the worn bush and you can now fully engage every gear from the gear stick, just a bit sloppy as it takes up the play where the bush used to be.


My question: can the following bush be purchased anywhere, or does anyone have one available.
if i can replace this item then i can sell it as a fully working box again

cheers
Kelvin.



poor pictures as i did it in failing light.

 

theirs a guy on ebay doing recon t5 boxes called gears and he does metal bushes and my box came with one and have to say it is better than the plastic one .. think they are ten quid but im sure he would have the plastic also.. if you cant find him on their his number is
