I Got the box apart tonight and found a few worn gears and bearings
I'm guessing here as I know nothing about gearboxes really, it looks to me that the bearing at the bottom of the picture on the 'lay shaft' is it?
has worn and the movement has allowed the gear behind it to get badly worn which has eventually rooted the connecting gear on the main gearset

The larger bearing there seems ok but I guess if I was pulling it off to replace the gear I should replace that aswell
So 2 gears and 2 bearings so far.
Also on the output end I found a couple of teeth missing so should probably replace that at the same time

I presume the gears would have to come from holden? the bearings aswell?
I'm considering taking the whole thing apart and replacing all the bearings and bushes
Probably be expensive but one less thing to worry about for a while..
Does my diagnosis sound plausible or am I barking up the wrong tree..
Cheers..
