gearbox being done

[animal]

he said that the kickdown cable moves with the accelerator cable and adjusts the drive pressure in the box, so if it isnt connected to the throttle it will be running at a constant set pressure and will burn the box out, he said that could be the problem but will know tomorrow for sure

the kickdown cable.......of course.i didnt connect it,there was no bracket made for it.in my haste to drive it i forgot all about it.what a fuc*ing numpty.

Dude, hang you head in shame.


My kickdown is electronic, originally, (in the Lexus) a switch under the throttle pedal, but I've fitted a micro switch on the throttle body activated by the cable mechanism.

Well, that's that one sorted then....

well they rang me this morning and the verdict is




the box is f@cked
the drive plates are all burnt out , the seals are all leaking , the pump is kaput
and the teeth on cogs are missing/broken

basically he said they can repair it for about 250
or i can buy a reconditioned one for 380+vat

Oh dear, not good news! I bet you now wish you had sold it last December

I guess the list of 'nicknames' I have accrued is about to be expanded shortly now.

250 for a fixed box with a warranty isnt bad

thats probably the route im going, ive put my motox bike for sale to raise the cash to get it done, and the leftover money will pay for the paint for the respray
