LT77 Gearbox rebuild.

[atc40]

I have an LT77 gearbox that could really do with a rebuild, noise in gear and sounds terrible in reverse.

How difficult is it to rebuild?

Any special tools required?

Any help appreciated.

Not to difficult to do, here's some reading;

And make sure you have copy of the original workshop manual.

I managed to rebuild my TR7 5 speed gearbox, but failed at the last hurdle. For some odd reason I couldn't 'close' the box - I didn't want to force it. I thus had to spend £50 for a gearbox specialist to complete the job. Still, much cheaper than getting them to recondition it.

Basically, read the workshop manual for all the details.

... For some odd reason I couldn't 'close' the box - I didn't want to force it ...

Probably caused by the oil pump shaft not being aligned with the recess in the pumpgear (they are not self-aligning).
