AX15 and NV3500 both perfect after 5 years..... Price seems to be £500 a time....

But if they can handle a Citroen DS box and a Roller.....which is an old TH400 then they have to know their onions

Post by: BIGDRY on May 08, 2017, 01:41:34 PM: ok finally got box out of cj7 this weekend. turns out its t176 tremec - not a borg warner t4 after all.

box is going off to 'box dude for rebuild.

also changing clutch whilst im there.

Any other recommendations to do whilst this little lot is out?, prop joints seem ok, have cleaned and regreased.
is there anything i should look out for on dana 300 whilst its out?

cheers all.

Post by: Jonny Jeep on May 16, 2017, 09:41:00 AM: Have you considered ebay? I don't know how the prices compare but with the global shipping program the shipping is more reasonable and you'd have the parts in a couple of weeks.

Post by: djrr6 on May 16, 2017, 10:10:34 AM: I presume you have tried rock auto as they sourced me parts for my bizarre jeep build and overnight delivered for $50

Royal Mail held onto it for about 3 weeks but you can't teach stupid i guess

i acknowledge your sentiments on both counts but would simply say if you need crytical parts they are very very good hence they have been around for a good few years now
