Auto locker setup/rebuild

Post by Mazuki »

I have a lockrite auto locker in my 1.6 escudo which I instaled myself. Up until today it's been fine but it has suddenly started making some weird noises and clunks. I am still yet to remove and investigate further but if worst comes to worst, who is the best person to get to rebuild in Wellington? I did a search in the google machine and all that came up was Wellington automotive ( ex miles udy) which I have used before for a past gearbox rebuild. Is there any others?

Wow Miles Udy, he helped put a 2l cortina motor in my Mk1 escort with an RS2000 g/box, that was mid 80's :shock:

If you can install it you can set it up correctly.

If the clearances aren't right you can end up breaking the springs and pins.

Get the install manual and a set of feeler gauges and you should be fine.

I bought mine second hand and it had broken pins which I replaced.

I had to get my thrust washers machined down to get the clearances correct.

Matt.
