classic 2 Report post Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Hi. I'm trying to split a gearbox off a 147 2.0, but I can only get the two parts seperated by a few cm's. Does the gears stay in the bellhousing- or the other part of the gearbox and is there any tricks to separate them completely? Do I need to remove these bolts?

classic 2 Report post Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Nevermind, managed to seperated it. If anyone wonders, the gears stay in the non-bellhousing part. Where can I buy diff bearings?

Smaky 73 Report post Posted July 10, 2015 You've done that completely wrong. The end plate off first, remove the 5th gear stuff, remove the 2 circlips from the bearings, remove mount plate, remove the selector shaft rollers x3, remove reverse gear locator bolt, remove center case, remove reverse selector arm, remove 10mm bolts from selectors, remove selector rods (do not lose the small pins inside them) and forks, recover the rollers from the shaft holes, remove gearshafts, remove diff. I am now lost on how you are going to reassemble your box from the way you've opened it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
classic 2 Report post Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) I'm lost aswell. The small pins inside are all over my work bench. Guess I'll try your method on my other spare box then... Guess this is what I wasn't supposed to loose... Edited July 10, 2015 by classic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted July 12, 2015 There should be 2 of those, they sit in the case BEFORE you refit the selector shaft, you also have to get the selectors perfectly Neutral before the last shaft will slide past the 2 rollers. You still nedd to find the pin which is smaller than that. The best thing to sit a box on for splitting is a Black and Decker Workmate, use the holes in it tables to locate the studs in the box, a 1 inch piece of wood opposite the diff to balance it and then NOTHING will fall out as you split it down.

classic 2 Report post Posted August 11, 2015 Will I need to remove the selector fork before splitting it this way? Sent fra min SM-G900F via Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted August 12, 2015 Nope, the selector remains in the case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
classic 2 Report post Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Got it in two, but seems like all of the gears will need to come out to remove the diff. Still, this time the pins won't go anywhere Sent fra min SM-G900F via Tapatalk Edited August 12, 2015 by classic 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
