Nothing like starting the New Year off on the right foot.
Tommy and I got together this morning, coffee of the right mixture works well as a bribe . . We went through the rebuild of the fluid flywhweel half that Tommy has prepared for me, bead blasting and washing to a forensic standard and painting with his usual proprietary paint. We had to make a new gasket for the bearing (new) and seal (new) hub component. new bolts were installed. We are using a Permatex sealant that is anaerobic. Tommy has researched it and spoken with their technical rep and it is sanctfied for our application. Here are a few photos of crafting the gasket and sliding it all together. I did manage to drop off the gearbox and t case unit this morning but we wont be going at that for about a week yet. R

And here are the last two pictures, all wrapped for cleanliness until I can get the flywheel part in during the week for a good cleaning.

Once you have one apart, just like Richard said, they are simple.
My problem was zero hands on knowledge, all I had was booksmart knowledge. The other thing is that Tommy (Kingston transmission) has a commercial parts washer that is just brilliant. Regards Robin

I had a problem with a ferret gear box once.. the transmission shop had no clue. I would recommend that you contact Marcus in Little Sutton, and get the brake bands, and Seals, while it's apart. The transfer box should only be seals that go bad.....depending on how long she sat (rust being the issue). When I assisted with a Canadian Ferret resto, it was rusted so bad it would not turn. 00 DA 81 didn't have any issues with the drive train, as I tended to drive her periodically.
Yes, I know, I need to send you a CD....

Dan and the rest of you out there . .
There was no issue per say on the whole transmission aka gearbox / transfer case. I'm just not wanting an unreliable vehicle and figure that it is stupidly simple to have it apart by someone who wants to delve into it. Our plan is to drain and open and go from there. When we know what is screwed we will replace, if it is prudent to replace other items while we are there we will. Tommy is wanting to learn all about them and do more after mine. So he can explain to me how it works as i'm a mental midget at times. Dan, there is a lot more to go and with me being the only breadwinner in our house right now there is precious little play money so i'm going to have to be patient. R
