hi StMarks
Thanks for the info you shared on the manual box. I have been searching for info how fix it. I have the same box in my 115, I have so problems with it. Can you help me please.
Its noisy 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 . Only when gas is applied. Selecting first gear is easy and little grungy going into 2nd. Can it be the gearing in the box ? or prop shaft bearing ?
My concern is, no noise in 5. I will appreciate your help. I am from South Africa and help is limited. Sorry I cant pvt msg yet.
Well, I'm doing my best for my beloved little Vito.
Gearbox removed, and split.
For some reason I'm struggling to figure out the procedure for removing my mainshaft/countershaft/shift assembly from the rear housing.
I don't seem to be able to find the procedure detailed in WIS.??
hi
I'm on the same stage can't figure out how to remove mainshaft/countershaft/shift, could you please give me an advice
Thanks
I used a very large three-legged puller, as the shaft is an interference fit. Take care to make sure that the legs do not damage the casing face, as they need to be perfect to seal correctly when you re-assemble it.
Well done.Finally did it, but without 3 legged puller.
Thanks a lot mate.
After your last post I had a crawl under there, and sure enough someone has attached a pair of (large) cable ties around the two cables where they leave the selector mounting bracket.
I've not found it in WIS though.
Got my van back from the dealers.
Couldn't get to speak to the mechanics, just the reception.
They said they just adjusted the cables, I didn't hold much hope, not least since it drove better when I emptied it to send it in.
But did some miles now, and especially this morning when cold (when selecting first and second are worst) and its miles better!
Can't find it again on WIS, but I did initially stumble on an update advising to affix a couple of strategic cable ties to the shift cables, and the job card says thats what was done.
Got to be worth a bash before pulling the box.
good luck
Thanks a lot mate.
