Right back to the drawing board with this thing.
Purchased a refurbished gearbox earlier this year, within 300 miles you were struggling to go from 1st to 2nd. Place I got it from was amazing and swapped it for a new rebuilt unit with no problems, says it is the first one he has had returned in 20 years. Typical just my luck I thought.
Fitted the replacement unit and after 2 days (25 miles) and I am again struggling to get 2nd gear, and also 5th gear as well as 5th gear whining its head off. Spoken to the guy again tonight and he is at a loss. He said when he rest ripped the box I took back the baulk rings had lost all the coating from them so thought it could be an oil issue but I have been using ATF 2 which is what I believe should be in it.
I am at a loss, I really don't want to have to remove the box again but suspect this is what I am going to end up doing, the guy I had the boxes from has no idea what has gone wrong but has suggested using a cheaper mineral ATF oil in there.
It is now a suffix H in there, was a suffix G if that makes any difference.
This thing will be the death of me and my bank balance and the amount of time I am spending possibly my marriage.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
