Item............................... 1989 L series GL auto gearbox in need of a front diff

Description/Condition...................... The rear bearing on the pinion shaft has been starved of oil and collapsed, this has allowed the pinion shaft to move forward and damage/lock onto the diff centre. Pinion and crown wheel look to be in good condition.
The Auto itself worked very well and the 4wd coupling was tight when used on dirt (very rarely). Some water found in oil due to sitting outside - it has not been run with oil in it.
All shafts seem to be in good condition.
Torque converter included, now needs a clean up as it's rusty.

Location ..........................Cobaw VIC

Price................................ $30

Contact ............................ Here or via PM.
