DUCATO GEARBOX (1 Viewer)

[Pikeman]

Have a 2001 van on a 2.8jtd Ducato base. The gearbox (synchro on 3,4,5) is starting to have issues and I am looking for a firm that might do refurbishment on the box or re-con box. Anyone got any idea's?

Cheers,

Keith

Ask JAWS, he knows all about failed gearboxes.

Sorry to hear about it and hopefully you'll get it sorted ASAP and back in the road without any worries.

Can I ask as to how its diagnosed as the synchro? Have you checked all the linkages, lubed them etc, as if any are lose then it could be a problem. Just a thought.

Crunching in to selective gears. More knowledgeable people than I have advised synchro rings as most likely.

why don't you just double de clutch? if you get in the habit of doing it you won't crunch the gears and will save a lot of money,
If and when the clutch needs replacing then I would look at overhauling the Box,

I'd still say check the linkages and change the oil, run it for around 50 miles and see how it goes.

Good luck

I am with PP Bear ..and believe me, I have had more than my fill of the sodding things over the last 18 months or so !

These guys know what they are doing and are reasonably priced, as they only do gearboxes and axles.

Not exactly the solution though is it and as the wife does some of the long haul, then that is not an option.
