<p> Hi, <br>
</p>
<p> My gearbox works fine, shifts fine, etc. but developed a knock.
I removed it and found the front cover plate by the input shaft
broken, removed the front cover and found the nut had worked
loose, tore up the front cover. <br>
</p>
<p> I am hoping that is all that is wrong with the gearbox, I have
gone through the Haynes and can't find a torque spec for it, I did
find "Drive Nut 90-100" but is that this nut highlighted in the
picture below (I hope it comes through) ?<br>
</p>
<p> Last question is, can I put the thing in gear, protect the
output shaft splines on the other end in a vice and torque this
down (and I have a new tab to bend over the nut, the old one looks
pretty bad) or will I damage something in the gearbox ? I really
don't want to dismantle the gearbox if that is all that is wrong
it. I am going to assume that if the gearbox can't handle me
torquing this nut down, it could not handle the stresses of being
driven on the road, especially with hard downshifts, but never
hurts to ask. <br>
