gearboxes

[stevo-with-the-evo]

as i have a whining gearbox just wondered if any evo gearbox fits any evo???

cos i was thinking,am i better off fixing the box i have or putting in a second hand one?

 

[Steve220]

Any 5 speed from 4 onwards will fit without issue

 

[boroboy]

i got 2 spare 5 speed boxes if your looking for one

located in darlington and would prefer pick up

 

[stevo-with-the-evo]

am in aberdeenshire to far to pick up sorry bud

 

[boroboy]

could post if your willing to cover the charges for courier but would imagine it been quite expensive due to weight

 

[stevo-with-the-evo]

how much u looking for one anyway and how come there 'spare' ?

Actually my IX box is a bit notchy (5 speed) so maybe something I would look at too. I'm not sure if a bit of fiddling and some good oil wouldn't sort mine out though.

What sort of price you looking at for a second hand box these days anyway?

 

[stevo-with-the-evo]

not sure really but dunno if im cheaper off fixing the box i got or just putting in a good second hand box cos its all got to come out anyway?

wots the difference between every evos gearbox?

Not sure mate, i'm learning myself. If mine proves to be buggered i want to know if worth swapping out or fixing

 

[boroboy]

looking for 400 each

1 is spare from my 4 as i changed to 6 speed
1 is from a 4 i bought as a project but chassis was like a colander so broke it in the end

same here mate

 

[stevo-with-the-evo]

been reading up on gearboxes on other sites and and a common fault is the input or output shaft bearing that goes and causes the whining.

how bad is this and will it cost a fortune to fix?

 

[stevo-with-the-evo]

can anyone help?

IV boxes are a nightmare in any other model.

I suggest you try BoroBoy if the price is right or unless you can find someone cheaper elsewhere.

Have you tried John or Jamie???

[stevo-with-the-evo]

Na not tried them yet. boroboy was selling evo 4 boxes, will a 4 box be ok in a 5??

 

[ElDopesta]

It should be but you will need the Selectors and the Selector Bracket too.

It all boils down to the price at the end of the day buddy.

[stevo-with-the-evo]

so im easier puuting on what came off then??

the price aint a problem i'll spend what i need to spend to get it right

 

[ElDopesta]

If you can get it reconditioned by someone reputable and the work is warranted then by all means go for it buddy.

Evo Parts Ltd has one for sale and it is a reconditioned unit with warranty which is kind of fairly priced as far as reconditioned boxes go so that is an option too.

Just way up the pro's and cons and take it from there.
