The very first time that I did a rebuild on a LT77, I found a little ball bearing in the casing and didn't know where it had come from. After a lot of investigating, I discovered that it was out of the reverse switch plunger. That held me up for a few days as I didn't want to rebuild without fitting it. I learned the hard way, it was a good lesson never to be forgotten. Thanks for the memories. Best wishes from Yorkshire Rob..
I know what you mean, I was the same with power steering boxes until I started to take photos so I knew which way the parts went when I was rebuilding them. BUT!!! That was yesteryear, All the best to you Mike.

Hi Mike 🤔 just saying thanks again for sharing this video update 🤔👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hay muster I see your infomation about ger box LT 77 but ... cystem fork it's not isy to install with cancro in ger...betwin furst ger and 2 ger...? I do dath befour in my box but I see your vedio thankfully for you infomatoin......?
Fantastic video Mike love watching your videos, in the series rebuild you lathered it in red grease as you built it but not this one. Any reason or because the series gearbox was older?
When I do a box I want to do it start to finish in one go - strip, check, new parts on the shelf and assemble while it is fresh in your mind, but this has been stop start from the get go
As you say, a really interesting design. Reminded me of rebuilding a Cooper S gearbox, also quite an intricate construction. What was not interesting was going down to the local Mann Egerton dealer and paying rather a lot of money for spares, such as a new layshaft. Not funny on apprenticeship wages. Happy days though, well some of them were!
You have to be careful showing diagrams from books... copyright issues can arise and RUclips will punish you! Do your own drawings and they can't moan.

Problem with this job Rob, is I stripped it 7 weeks ago to see what parts we needed

Thoroughly enjoying this gearbox refurb, cheers Mike!
Hi Mike very well done as always very great help many thanks Eliot
Cheers Eliot!
I'm from Brazil i'm watching your video is helping me a lot 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Happy to hear that!
Fascinating how that goes together and in awe of your expertise and knowledge - look forward to each new video. Thanks
Well done, Mike. Don't forget to fit the hardened washer on top of the reverse axle.
Indeed, I stuck it on later - but I pulled up the shift linkage and knocked tit out of sync!

Utmost respect to you Mike, gearboxes were never my foretay 👍👍
The idea is to get the parts you need first then do it in the same day when it is fresh in your mind
Always enjoyable thanks.
Dropping one's pin into the wrong slot is always a problem.

The series boxes are a bit more forgiving
Not for the faint hearted working on that gear box.

Cue AC/DC I've got big balls while Mike searches for his.

Same here with Dolomite Sprints..
Bloody hell Mike I bet the first time you did this type of box it drove you bannanas
Was a nightmare! Shimming is the worst!
