Of the three boxes I stripped to build up the one for the 16valver, I found two of the input shaft main bearings with considerable wiggle in them. Once i had selected the parts and re built it with complete new bearings including the turbo input support bearing at 40 smackers!! the wiggle was gone.

how did you know dave !lol ms , the box did all the mileage i mentioned since its rebuild in 87. Ah coolio, you were expecting in the back of your mind really then. Id put the money on the input shaft main bearing having some slop in it, giving less contact on the laygear as they push apart under load. Just my 2 pence worth ![]() On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
