I have now removed the overdrive and gearbox as a single until with JUST enough clearance at the rear tunnel end once the prop drive flange is off. I am hoping to improve the synchro on second and also occasional jumping out of 3rd gear on the overrun. Any suggestions for shopping around for gearbox parts?
The main reason for removing the box is to access the clutch and sort the judder. First glance tells me the release bearing has cooked a bit, still I will know more once I have removed the clutch (an MG Diaphragm type). I will also get the flywheel skimmed anyway just in case. Fingers crossed.
