Looking for a reasonable (i.e. not noisey) box to put in my '89 samurai..... I'm not worried about synchro probs etc. Would also be interested in a bad one that I could rebuild if I can't find a good one....

Cheers

Oh, and will a 413 one be OK? 410? What are the differences?

413 will be ok , some of the later sammys have a higher 5th gear , amrginal thou .
A 410 gearbox is 4sp and will not bolt up .

Yeah, for a price...... I could recondition mine cheaper than that!

I'm also after a rear diff head for the samy..... again, i could import brand new lower ratio ones from the US for only slightly more than the wreckers want! Looking for a more short term cheap solution, let me know if you have anything...

Hey

I have a 85 sj413 5 spd. The syncros in second are stuffed but is sweet other than that.

I am in northland so freight might be a issue but its yours for enough for a box of green bottles :wink:

PM me if your interested and i'll give you my location details etc so you can get freight quotes. Its only light not huge.

Sweet cheers guys - pm sent. will look in to those vit diffs - 5.12 would be very nice....

Toysuzi, do those diffs bolt straight in to the samy housings or is there some 'tweaking' required?
