Last fall I carelessly put the gearbox in reverse while the car was still ever
so slowly rolling forward and was greeted
with a bang. From then on until I put it away the gearbox made a loud ticking
noise in reverse and a lessor one in 1st.
I took the GB out over the winter and my mechanic says it's thrown a tooth on
the Laygear (Countershaft?). Moss & TRF
don't seem to stock them for the 2-3A but have an "improved" one for the 3B
which I assume won't fit?
Any other source?
Plus I'm told the gearbox will always be noisy from then on.. new or used.
Or I could buy a used GB (without knowing its condition) and lose my overdrive
(or xfer the o/d guts to the "new" one).
Options/advise/opinions?
Thanks,
Art
