More Lancia Fulvia 5-speed gearbox repairs underway… This one was sent in from out of state, after the owner reported noisy operation at-speed.
Splitting the differential. Upon disassembly it became apparent the problem was in the ring and pinion, and the noise was likely alway present, it was just very audible at highway speeds. Lots of metal shavings and contaminated oil was present inside the case.
Lancia’s Technical Data sheets are a lovely aids! They are available online. However, if you have trouble finding them – send me an email. Final drive clearance is supposed to be scribed on the ring and pinion from the factory, and can be deciphered with the page above.
New ring gear going on for the first of many test fits to make sure the ring to pinion clearance is correct.
Ready to be reunited with its case halve. In addition to the ring and pinion, this gearbox received new bearings for the primary and intermediate gear stacks, and differential. It should be nice and quiet after this.
Ready to ship.
