Sounds like another brilliantly clean sub-project is coming up

Didn't you change the gear ratios a while back? Bummer for you either way.

It had a new final drive and pinion put in it. I've not taken it apart yet to see what's broken.

ouch, the good thing is that gearboxs are cheap to fix / get hold of engines of our spec and tune are not so hope nothing has gone that side. keep us posted on your findings

At first I thought it had thrown a rod through the block but when there was no smell of oil or smoke I was slightly puzzled. I don't think this will be that cheap to fix. I just hope the new CWP is ok because they are difficult to find as you know!

It was previously a perfectly good low mileage gearbox. The ones from salvage yards are so good. Will check out the ratios on gti 180 boxes to see what they are like with this 4.76 FD in it.

Must be that invisible turbo that is attached! I doubt I've gone over the 188lb ft torque limit of the BE4 gearbox.

And this is what happened. Looks like 1st gear got very hot and welded itself to the output shaft. This had the effect of engaging two gears at the same time.

One reason for this could be because some sealant got into the oil journal on the shaft. Another reason is these boxes come with different thicknesses of roller bearing. The older 2mm thinner bearing is used with a needle roller bearing but my mechanic fitted the new shaft with the later thicker bearing and also fitted the needle roller bearing. This meant things would be tighter which probably explained why he struggled to get the shaft nut on properly without loctiting it!

Two gearboxes are now on order- a gti 180 box for its gears and another Picasso for the final drive. I've also got new bearings on order and bits of gear teeth might have got into the existing bearings.
