The issue is, the nut that fastens the gear to the shaft is “bottoming out” on the available thread. The picture below shows the oil guard, output gear and washers (x2) on the output shaft.

    Expired Chrysler 727 3 speed auto (minus transfer box)

    Hi All. I Have a Chrysler three speed automatic gearbox from a classic Range Rover. It was bought for the transfer box, which has now been removed, so the main gearbox is up for sale. Would like somewhere nearest £200, but am open to offers. Cash on collection from GL17 9Sr (Gloucestershire)
