So it's a write off.. See the missing tooth. And I need a strike of luck to find a new one in Norway. Sold less than 20 a year since 2010 I've heard.

Better or worse for the bearings? I would think worse..
On 29`s i think i will be only 200rpm higher @ 100km/h on my planned ratio, than on stock wheels/transmission. Probably just better off like that, since the wheels are heavy..

Had a look for R72 on bildelsbasen as well now, as i found my motor over in sweden through that page.. But none to be found, and even the R7me was kind of expensive over there.

Good luck diving into the box, it was pretty easy to split / rebuild :)

Agreed that it would be better for the r72 gearbox to gear down a bit.. I will dive into the grimjeeper calculator again tonight and try to make sense of the r7me swap and 235's.

Maybe the gear parts you need to rebuild, isnt all that expensive though.

could be but that is a last resort for me... If i get hold of a low milage 2010 or newer gearbox somewhere it would still be better and probably cost the same.

I did not bother to open anymore to see if there was more damage. kind of fed up today..

This is horrible for you. I'm so sorry to hear the damage is so bad. You're right to look for another box, new gears in that box will whine when run with old worn gears due to the wear pattern on the old gears.
