While there's no detent per se, there is an elaborate spring mechanism that can burr a bracket and cause notchy left-right movement. When you send the box down I'll check the whole mechanism over and...
What diff are you running?
The OEM / Torsen / ATB diffs "hunt" for traction at that sort of power.
Swap tyres/wheels with a mate if possible and check again.
Doesn't sound like a synchro (usually engagement problems) but perhaps a broken synchro spring, or broken detent spring. Otherwise it may be excessive hub/sleeve wear on the reverse side. You might...
It's all pretty good. Bores are already 1mm oversized but in good nick and will clean up with a very light hone. Pistons are reusable. Head might need new valve seat inserts, they're fairly beaten...
Hey mate,
I tried responding to your PM a few times, inbox must be full.
They are available and very expensive.
Clear inbox and I'll resend price.
Cheers
Full disassembly of the gearbox is required. Only the diff carrier shim setting will change though so it's not a complete rebuild. It's not easy for a beginner with limited tools, but can be done if...
A missing tooth on the reverse idler would not cause the slingshot/surge. My bet is you've got one or more failed bearings and the thrust clearance is out, causing the input shaft to shunt...
Yeah a few updates - I have tracked down a spare crank and rods, so back on track with the engine build. I need to split the replacement crank to make sure this crank is ok but apparently it was out...
It's not slight but it does work with tune and cams. Haven't seen it done with stock cams, I reckon the dynamic compression would be too high to run on 98, you'd need e85 to run the right spark...
Yep pretty normal, it feels horrible eh? This is why I never recommend clutch LSDs for street. It's a lot about oils. Play around and read some threads here as linked above.
Hmmm I may have a contact, I thought I was lucky getting a crank though! I'll let you know...
Yes the oil pressure issue is a bit of a worry - I'll look into running an idiot light I think.
Hey Freddy,
Yeah I've got myself a replacement gear set including crown wheel. I also got a crank and rod assembly as mine was shot, and a fuel tank.
Just gotta finish off my other project before I...
As is often the case with a project like this, I have found that the engine and gearbox are in worse condition than originally thought. The cylinder leakage was due to sooted up valves - all good,...
Ok so its just a normal early hydro internally. you should be able to pretty much swap whatever gear you want in and out, as long as it's hydro and pre '98. If you want the 4.78 FD from the 98+ DC2R...
Hmm my knowledge of earlier B's is not as strong but I think I have come across this before. Is there 2 separate bearings on the rear of the countershaft (under the lock nut) or one single integrated...
Yes pretty much all hydraulically-activated-clutch B series gearboxes are interchangeable. The late S80 from the 1998+ DC2R has a different countershaft/1st gear setup but can be made to work with...
Gave the donk a leak down test and cylinder 1 is like 80% through the valves. I wanted an excuse to rip it apart anyway, so not too fussed. Someone has tidied the engine up on the exterior, and it...
