Thanks for the reply's guys Goldfish it is then mainly due tot he aftersales feedback.

Guys some advice needed finally got round purchasing a winch and was pretty much set on the Goldfish 9.5 but have recently noticed the Come Up DS9.5. Can somebody throw their 2p's worth in to help me choose. I know a few of the guys here are running the Goldfish and speak very highly of David...

The only ECU I removed was the ECT one due to it being bolted to where my clutch pedal now sits and due to the auto box no longer living in the car I didn't think it was necessary. I might try plugging that back in first in case the feed piggy backs from ECT ECU so the old gearbox knew what it...

The only issue I have left is Rev counter, which I assume used to take its reading from the old flywheel but will have to research that one. I think the reverse light sensor come up the same loom from the quadrant that Jon + Chris mentioned and if that is the case I intend to use the old plug...

Thanks Jon got the oil sorted okay apparently I was using the filling hole as level (I did think it was a tad high) LOL Got trucking driving last night which was handy due to over a foot of snow falling and my Audi getting snowed in outside the workshop. What a difference in the truck! It is...

Yes guys just checked there now 2.7ltr I was using what I found to be a fill hole on drivers side of box located approx 3/4 way up the box with a 24mm bolt. It had a sealing washer and all on it. Hummmm apparently it was the wrong one where is the correct one located?

I will take some snaps tonight while it is still on the ramp. I used Milers TRX 75/90 Fully synthetic for main box + transfer. The box took 4 litres and still didn't spill out the fill bung yet?? I thought it took 3.8 litres but it was well drained

on your were 100% on the money, the round 2 pin plug bridged that and it fired straight up. Also got the tunnel tidied up and the gaiter boots riveted in. Everything seems to be working fine but there is a small noise when starting it. It sounds like the started is catching so took it off and...

Yes Jon there is a round plug that joins into the loom beside the starter I will have a look at the plug that comes from the quadrant and follow it back to see if it does goes to that round plug if it does I will bridge it and give it a go!

Thanks for the reply Chris what would be your suggestion for a solution. I am thinking just find the wires for start sensor and complete the circuit or can the start sensor just be removed?

Okay so made some more progress today got bulk head drilled, clutch pedal bolted in and all plumbed up. Tried to start it and as I thought dash lights come on but when turn key nothing only the relay noise you hear when trying to start in D when auto. Tried plugging auto shifter back in to test...

Made good progress today. First issue I ran into was thegearbox mount and cross member. The mounts on the manual box sit approx 1 inchcloser to the engine than auto. Cross members are identical between auto andmanual so the 2 mount bolts fit the mount okay but the 14mm bolts then are outfor the...

And just to confirm which direction am I turning the screws in step 2 +3 when looking at them is it clockwise or anti-clockwise?

After many searches I think I have confused myself in completing this. Just to check the idiots guide is 1. Write down every change I do so I can attempt to reverse if it all goes Pete Tong 2. Take off 4 allen bolts at the top lift lid slightly and turn the toothed wheel approx 6 turns...

I will take a few snaps and keep you's posted of any problems I have along the way. I don't think there should be any need for a re gear as I am running 35's and on auto diff's with manual box and matching transfer so effectively it would be like somebody with a manual putting 4.44 diffs in...

After a little pallet of goodies arriving last week from Steff I finially started my manual conversion today. Had the box and everything out in less than 4 hours today so not bad going. First job in the morning is to set the manual box in and do some minor fabrication to tunnel as the shifters...

Has anyone gone any further and seen how many sets we would require so we can get a price?

Burst one of my TJM rear shocks and need to replace them. I am still running standard fronts but would maybe consider going for fronts and rears if I could get something at good money. If not I think I will replace rears with 2x OME and then change the front to OME after new year when I have a...

I might be interested in parting with mine? PM sent

All sorted changed the solenoids over from my old box and it is runing perfect.

I will try swapping the shift solenoids with some good ones but will check voltage on TPS first. Update to follow

Anyone??

Rite my truck is 94 4.2 with A442f box. My missus cooked the old box and I bought a spare truck and took the box out of it. I did approx 150 miles in the truck before it came out and it drove fine. Christmas 2011 I swapped the box over and noticed something after a while. When taking off from a...

I bought a set of Hankook RT03's last month in 315/75/16. Sitting at 30psi they measure a true 34 inches. I used to run a set of 285/75/16 Bridgestone Dueler AT's. I haven't noticed much difference in road handling or noise wet or dry and I do drive pretty hard most of my driving is B roads. Off...

Hankook's it is then LOL My old absolutely done Bridgstone AT's with open diff's got me most place's so with my lockers and some proper mud tyres it should be vast improvement. Will get them ordered up tomorrow :thumbup:

So the hankook will prob do at least 1.5 times the miles the Insa will do?

Anyone running these? If so what sort of mileage they doing and what is their true size? Was looking to run a set of 315/75/16 Hankook RT03's but I seen these Insa's at good money??

Don't know if this has ever been posted before but this guy has the mechanical sympathy of a badger and also has balls the size of coconuts!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzXVLbs41Ew

Local Play area 3 miles outside Belfast City Center!

I will post a video of mine tomorrow and no1 you's all have a laugh at my Leyland Lepard bus noise and no2 Chris you can say if yours sounds similar.

Any blackening of the oil would more than likely be VC. I split my old gearbox and transfer yesterday and if the rear output seal was away on the box it would simply fill up the plate between gbox and transfer which would be very noticeable as there is wee nikk cut out of the plate on the...

Good spy Paul! Wonder what it will make?

Wanted 80 series locking front diff with or without locking motor

Chris my silver truck is exactly the same after 60mph with power on it sounds like an old Leyland Lepard bus! Take the power off and it goes away. I was always unsure as to its source. I recently bought another truck for spares and robbed the gearbox out of it. I did aprox 300 miles in the spare...

Nice write up Chris is that .308 your reloading? Over here in NI handguns are still legal but hard to get passed for and you have to do the whole keep them in the club for a year before you can keep at home. I have 2x shotguns and a wee .17HMR for the bunnies some craic! Glock 17 and H&K-...

Geo-smc did you make them yourself or are they metal-tech ones?

I picked up a manual box, flywheel, clutch, props and slave+master cyclinders. All I need to find now is pedal box and some pipe work. So gonna throw it into my spare truck I robbed the auto box from and maybe turn it into something scary on a budget :?

Bit of a long shot but looking for 4-6 inch lift for my spare truck?

My sliver truck and its very own organ donor!

50mm packer would probably be the best route but was curious as to how durable they are after a year or 2?

I am running TJM aka bone shaker 2 inch lift at the minute but winch bumper + sliders have robbed me of some vital clearance! I don't really want to fork out for new springs and also after 2 inch the load rate seems very limited. Looked about at packers but not sure about how they would last. I...

Yes that must be the case. Bot trucks are 94 Jap but donor truck has ABS so must be wee bit fresher. Also Jon whats the difference in splines with non locker shafts to locker units from memory, I think non locker is 28 spline and locker is 30 spline?

Okay so got new box back into my truck but my prop is to long. The box I have put in seems to have a longer transfer box and the prop from the spare truck had to be used as it was aprox 2-3 inches shorter.

Got them off with a 22mm Crow foot! Had use of a 4 poster and 2 gearbox jacks so it made life alot eaiser but still a lump of a thing to move. Now have to strip box out of donor truck and slip it into mine. Glad I ain't paying someone an hourly rate to do it! Set of BEB going in and my spare...
