Woohoo!

Closed to go on holidays. See you in 3 wks 😎

Woohoo!!!!

GasNGears turned 10yr old in September!!!!!

Unfortunately this was over-shadowed by real life issues and everything was put on a back burner so to speak.

Whilst all that happened someone got in touch right on the 10yr anniversary regarding a rebuild and diff. So, with the box on the bench we did this instead.

A full 02a rebuild. Quaife l*d with Arp hardware as required.

And, this lucky bu**er had a big thank you from us with a free full vapour blast, full powdercoat in texture alloy silver, and full internal vapour hone to all parts before assembly. We also modified the shift tower and added a yellow zinc finishing kit.

My prices are very reasonable regardless but I thought this was a nice gesture on our 10th yr.

Hey up , I don’t usually put up posts like this but if you want to abuse me just unfollow and scroll on by. If not, you’ll be swiftly blocked 😂😂
Ffs. Life’s too short 🤦🏼‍♂️

Um….. no 1st/2nd mister ?!

So common in early 02m boxes. Selector fork rivet failure. It’ll drop off and, if you’re lucky won’t travel around the box killing everything in its path.

This had got chewed but luckily the gearset survived.
Pop in a modified fork, clean out any crap and rebuild as required. Quick cheap turnaround with future piece of mind 👍🏻

When someone says dry stored.

But what they mean is dry stored filled with rain water!!!

This actually came in for a rebuild!!!

I supplied another good used box and binned nearly everything from this. Casings will go again but anything with a bearing journal was toast 😂😂

Lovely little 020 in for a refresh.
Signs of a previous rebuild but signs of some issues too.
3/4 hub cracks, diff pin circlips missing, worn rings, rubbing to Ina bearings g from loss of bearing preload etc etc

So, in with all new fresh bearings, seals , gaskets, replacement hubs, arp diff bolts, full vapour blast, powder coated smalls and built to exacting standards.
Owner was landed with the result as the finish wasn’t what he was expecting 😉

Qu**ky 0A4 repair.

This came in a few weeks back with what we first thought was a broken diff pin and lack of oil.

Well, it turns out ( on arrival) that something on the cv had been tw4tting the case 😂 and, there was still a fair bit out oil still in the box!

With another spare case, cleaned checked and blasted we built the original internals into the fresh case. Bearings and rings checked and replaced before rebuilding plus a full set of seals and a doubled up diff roll pin.

And off it goes with both a lower price and a bit more piece of mind than a 2nd hand unknown replacement 👍🏻

In for a quick repair was this 02m

I built this ages ago for the previous owner but, like most boxes pushing a little extra bhp is stripped teeth off 4th.
And no. I didn’t paint those seals silver 😂

A full stripdown and clean out meant no floating debris will be left inside.
A 4th gear support was also added.

We didn’t have a ‘like for like’ set of ratios so we popped in a slightly longer set ( lots of people opt for longer final drives so this worked out great in all fairness) .
Re-set the preloads, new seals and re-assemble .
I forgot to take a finished pic but needless to say it was and it was picked up by a happy customer 👍🏻

In the words of that great British girl band ( not 😂) Two become one!

In for some fettling was this late 5spd caddy box for a full build, l*d, final drive change and the all important 6spd conversion.

These later boxes use a different lower pinion bearing removing the common case failure where the pinion shaft pops through. But, the shaft is specific to the case so doing a 6spd final drive swap requires some funky machining .
Upper pinion bearing is also a chunkier design plus we’re retaining the stop start.

So, both boxes stripped and inspected. New final drive mounted to the motorsport l*d. Cases stripped/blasted/powder coated.
Shafts built up with new bearings. Earlier reverse used from 02s ( better fork design and no wear issues) .
Bearings preloaded and cases fully assembled.
Selector towers………
5spd stop/start cannot be modified to use as 6spd but the 02s 6spd doesn’t have the stop start tab. So, strip both down, retain the 6spd shaft but un-weld the sender tag from the 5 and reweld onto the 6. Rebuild.
If you do this you need to remove the guide pin. It’s a sod but you can weld onto a slide hammer to remove it if you’re careful.

Chuck in a set of stainless bolts and you now have a 6spd 0A4 complete with l*d and 3.3 final drive 😎

Well, what an awful few months!

But, I’m back open, sort of 😂
Not at full speed as typically we’ve a holiday booked in November for Mrs GNG’s milestone birthday and an impending house move in the new year. Maybe a rebranding too 😂

Thanks to everyone for your continued support. It’s been a difficult time !
