Ok cheers anyway, the search continues.

got the stock 1.8mm in and we have 0.5mm end float measured with a dial gauge and putting pressure on the IS. here's the thread about it all, http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/oil-leak-gearbox-229433-18.html

My grip on reality? nearly! no, need the next size up from what we have.

Trying to locate an Input shim part number from ZF is: 0730-109-665 this is a 2.0 mm bearing race/shim. JPAT P/N is 185210BC So far I have contacted ZF and ZF dealers locally and we can only buy a 10 pack of these shims which makes it a very expensive change. Have you got one of these...

Phil, if andy hasn't contacted you already its seems that these shims are available in 10 packs only unless we can find someone who happens to have these shims sitting in a draw somewhere. contacted ZF uk and they just put me onto dealers, contacted landrover and they don't sell a selective...

Think It could be the busted pipe work above has allowed oil to flow into the bell housing and been swilled around by the starter and flywheel. If the plug has nothing but a blocking function from the machining process I will pull it and seal it.

This will be a bit vague until I can get the photos sorted. bit concerned about some oil near to the starter motor. there is a 5 or 6mm hex grub screw (HP1?) LYB000120 in the block that maybe leaking. I assume this is a plug that can be removed and resealed. [/URL]

Thanks All for the replies. Phil, Andy sent an email about the shim sizes for the gearbox. for reference: Shim in is 1.8mm on the input so we need a 2.0mm shim to make the float 0.3mm 0730-109-665 Shim in is 3.2mm on the output shaft so we need a 3.4mm shim to make float 0.3mm 0730-105-275

Bemble, further down the line when we come to start the engine for the first time since all the work, how do you suggest we go about that? considering that the TC is empty, the heat exchange pipes/heat exchanger will be empty, along with pretty much everything in the gearbox apart from...

Bemble I have a question about the output shaft float, We are working from a generic ZF manual and it shows a different output shaft to output flange. The output flange just has a seal and no ball bearing. unlike the one pictured which I am sure you know. Is there specific...

Just a quick one bemble, cleaning the friction plates and bearings, hot soapy water and then re-oil at reassembly?

The one that hangs down between the fuel tank? I will have an inspection, from what I remember it wasn't obviously knackered.

I am helping andy (holidaychicken) with his gearbox, I have a couple of questions for bemble. So far when being in the car with andy the vibration/rumble seemed to happen at very low revs and speed acceleration on a slight gradient. The gear selection and change hasn't been a problem as far...
