Ok but when you by a recon box from Ashcroft's it britpart baulk rings and mainshaft. That's worse than a clutch. I looking for facts like 3weeks the friction plate lost it linings ect

Me too but when I found out Ashcroft's use britpart baulk rings and main shafts and that fella on youtube mike from Britannia restorations uses britpart it makes me wonder who makes the clutch it's not britpart and how do they fail or is it just chinese whispers

Are they really that bad?? I am thinking they would not make them .someones obviously buying them. I have only fitted 1 bad clutch in my time valeo it turned out to have a warped friction plate. So these britpart ones why are they bad and how do they fail ? Thanks

So I went shopping at paddocks got a new cross drilled input gear and the shim I was looking for. Ashcroft just ripping people off . The price they charge for a recon box you be...

I have read that the lt 77 pre 200tdi is slightly higher geared than the 200 tdi lt77 so my question is that being the fact is there any point fitting a 1.2 lt230? To replace the 1.4 or have I got this wrong I am starting to doubt myself. Any advice ?? Thanks andy

I reckon the the transfer box I was just wondering how bad that shaft was compared to the gear in the lt230 it looks not bad

I have striped the box but the shaft does not look that worn but the gear in the lt230 looks completely worn. I think someone has put a new shaft in sometime in the past but not touched the transfer box. I have no experience with these boxes someone can some one have a look at the shaft does...
