Hi Frank, 230+ thousand, started with a vibe before xmas, checked the usual culprits UJ's ect and could not confirm where the vibe was coming from. All oil levels good and no signs of leaks, vibes turned to sounds when in neutral and coasting. Pulled alternate props and drove with DL engaged ect again no change. Put it down to something in the gearbox, I have not been able to do to much as I have a dodgy leg at the moment, anyway today I drove it a little harder than usual and this showed a lot of noise (slipping gears) in the gearbox, checked VC as well and all good.
So as Karl has sent me over stuff to Spain where I live I am waiting for him to give me a price on a good box if he has one, failing that I will strip and rebuild my own one.
Also just realised I must have a setting in my profile wrong as your post was not flagged in my emails which I only just checked.
regards
Dave
