3rd Gen Suzuki Jimny VVT 2005 M13A - R72 Gearbox Refurbishment

Hello All,

I've started populating some detailed (I mean very detailed) photos of the refurbishment of my spare R72 gearbox. I'm unsure if this Google sharing works or not. Please give it a try.

Impressive!

Thank you for sharing!

SUPERB!

Thank you!

Thanks Guys.

Well, I've just finished the disassembly of the R72 gearbox today. I don't have too much time to work on this, but who has nowadays? Anyway.... at this moment it's alteady documented with 200 photos...

I think it's so detailed that it can be used by anyone without any explanation (you just need to feel confident to open the gearbox housing). Photos are self explanatory. Might be useful for those who does not speak English as there is nothing to read there! Ha-ha.

Now I had to realize that I have not ordered everything yet for this rebuild. Synchro sleevies needs to be ordered before I can carry on with this. Once I got them another few hundred photos will follow showing the assembly.
I hope it helps keeping your pride and joy on the road whilst you might learn something new like I did!
Enjoy.

Hi guys.
After a month of waiting for parts I've nearly finished my gearbox rebuild last weekend. Unfortunately, I could not put back the rear section (3rd smallest part of the housing) of my R72 gearbox because the counter shaft bearing and the output shaft bearing do not line up perfectly. Possibly it's a very tight and precise fit. Managed to get those bearings half way pushed into place by pushing the housing down but then it does not go further. Does anyone had similar problem during assembly? Shall I try to heat up the 3rd piece before I give it a go? It's a real pain in the bottom especially because once the sealant is applied then there isn't too much time for messing with housing. Thanks. .
