this is my disclamer: i am only a mechanic that does wofs all day, not a gearbox specialist


I know i have another thread bout this thats 2 years old which i never got around to doing

so here goes

you should start with something like this


remove these parts and the arse will come off


more bolts etc and bell housings off


now ur left with the internals, put her in a vice (makes life easy)


remove lock nuts. NOTE: the big one is left hand thread, which was a bitch to undo cause it was x threaded


luckly i have a spare gearbox in bits


now remove the selctor shafts
then remove all gears and shit off the rear section
put every thing in order so you know which way it goes back on
get your trusty old hammer out and beat the two shafts gently forward till the bottom one comes out (dont drop it)
remove input shaft
keep smaken till main shaft comes out

should be left with these internal parts


also this


and this is why 4th gear wouldnt ingage


remember to clean parts as you go and reclean when you put it back together

will put more photos of the reassemble when i get around to doing it

Good stuff

I wonder if that warped synchro ring is the result of running GL5 or GL6 oil, which contains additives that can damage soft metals such as brass or bronze.

found a breakdown of a ca18 gearbox
same one i used to rebuild my first terrano box
