Small block gear box problem

Post

Back to the top
Now I know it's normally me giving advice on small blocks but I'm confuddled at this point.

I had an 8P box attached to my AFH engine and it was worn. Wouldn't engage 1st without going into 2nd beforehand and always crunched into reverse. The driveshafts bolts also came loose and as I was tightening them up by hand :o  I noticed that there was play in the diff.

As the thrust bearing was also very noisy and I had a new clutch and thrust bearing to go in plus another gearbox (AHZ) in the shed I thought I'd swap out the whole kit and caboodle.

I know can only get 2nd whilst going up the gears. Doesn't seem to exist on the way down.

Gearbox no good or something else?

HELP!
