I have no real experience with automotive gearboxes, but from my industrial gearbox and pump experience, some of that damage looks very like cavitation damage. I would only expect this type of damage to occur if the gearbox was over-filled, or perhaps if the pinion area became flooded under...

A bit late to the party but fwiw. Since my standard 302 sump was the lowest part of the car and already scraped, I cut the protruding part off and made a new wide base to maintain the same capacity. This was back in 2010. Attached drawings and photos show what I did. I cut and bent the metal...

Jimmy, welcome to the retirement club and I hope it will be a positive change for you as it has for me. You have such a positive effect here, it was great to see things done as they should be and the spectacular result. I hope we see you from time to time at least, but the best of luck in your...

Hi all, it's been a few months since I logged on, but it occurred to me that I had solved a simple problem which had puzzled me at first. Knowledge of it might be of some use to others, so here I am. It's a noise that turned out to be a simple rod change linkage adjustment issue. It may not...

Frank, thanks for your valued input as always. btw the call got cut when we went into a multi story park, but I think that your third point was the last. I'll check and report back. Dave

Thanks Mike, all noted, I'll come back with findings as I check them. Incidentally the Kevlar when fitted was no different to the original organic plate, i.e no snatch or judder at all. Hence I wondered whether contamination from moly grease could be a factor. It could be true that the kevlar...

Long time no post, I hope you are all well. Guidance or comments welcome for my judder issue. DAX 40, Ford 302 with Essex V6 Flywheel and 9"- 9 1/2" Borg and Beck. to UN1 transaxle. Back in 2014, I drove the DAX 40 down to Goodwood for the weekend with Classic Car Tours. Had a great time but...
