Hello,

You need to take the transmission part and see what has broken, I have included the diagrams to help you get the job done and how to get the transmission out even though I know you have already got that done.

Here are the diagrams (Below)

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken

Hi guys, I have microbus. Had a problem with forth gear. So I got a five speed box from a guy had it fixed, but problem is I do not think the ratios are right as at 120 kmh I am running 4800 rpm's. That seems way to hi as red line is at 5500 rpm's. So I need help. Is the 2.6 five speed good for the motor or is the standard four speed better? Has anyone done a modification like this? Want to make it lighter on fuel, can get brand new box for $15,000, but I do not know if I must go for the four or five speed. Must just add the gearbox I did buy came from a dodgy oak. Please help

Hey QUINTON,

Is sounds like you got the wrong transmission in there. I would get a used one and install it from a wrecking yard. Or have the the one that came out of there rebuilt.

Best, Ken
