H55F Rare as. Very very difficult to find. Five speed. Perfect working order. No crunching or whining. Quiet, smooth shifting. Removed from crashed BJ73. 160,000km Input shaft to fit VM 4 cylinder. Supplied with new rebuild kit, unopened. £1500

Sold. Thanks

Hi Jacob. Terrain Tamer do a rebuild kit and theres a rebuild video on you tube. Its pretty comprehensive. If the main shaft has been remachined it might need slightly different seals but they should be easy enough to source. Euro 4x4 do a rebuild kit as well. Half the price of the Terrain Tamer.

as long as it fits it'll be fine

looks like the lead to the fuel cut off solenoid

i havent got any vm parts anymore, but the photos show part numbers which are otherwise difficult to find.

damn. if you werent so far away i'd ask to buy that off road bumper

I have an H55F gearbox removed from a 1990 4 cylinder 2.5 TD VM on the bench in my workshop. Just went and checked it. It has the F, 2F, 3F, H, 2H, 12HT type H55 input shaft. I do not know if this will fit a 1HZ but it definitely won't fit a 3B. Let us know how you get on.

Hi all. The gearbox (H55F) and transfer is the same. See image for input shafts. But the diffs are different. The VM model has a low range diff (4.56 ratio) and has noticeably "sportier" performance than the 3B model which could be described at best as agricultural. I have no idea what kind of...

Hopefully this will work. 5 cylinder manual but in Spanish. its the only 5 cyl reference I've got. Hope it helps. VMs come up complete on ebay occassionally. Worth keeping an eye out for.
