Hi guys, wanting to spend wisely but am fastidious in refurbishing transit gearbox.
option 1: get a gearbox company to refresh my gearbox in a 190 HB smiley 2.5 non turb 1997 ....use parts from another one plus two others i have found
ASSUMPTION: the lengths of other MT75 gearboxes that come from similar year transits ,and mounting points the same, for all the gearboxes taken from the other (ie smileys with SWB or LWB, 150 or 190 or what have you??)
perhaps coupler end is larger or different but can be replaced,yeah?
My gearbox works but planning for when synchro or cones stop functioning, as for the past 12 years been hard to put it into 1st gear ( cone or sychro wearing problem)
and it has a crack in the bell housing conneted to the rear main on the engine.
Can anyone recommend mt75 transit bearings sets (not chinese thanks) and clutch plate sets that are good quality.
option 2: getting a fully refurbished one on a swap basis where supposedly they use good quality seals and bearings.but is more expensive option.
