PaulE Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Hi, Have you checked the gear box oil level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin bevins Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Thank you for your reply Paul. No I haven't. Is there an issue with gear boxes in a Velfire using oil that I don't know about. I will check and let you know ow I get on thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphard Club Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Best have a transmission service. Replace fluid and filter. You will need either a garage or transmission specialist to do this for you. I would do it sooner than later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin bevins Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Hi. We finally got round to draining oil and removing sump (there was just over 5 ltrs of oil ) and dropped the sump. The sump was full of metal as per attached photos. The 2 biggest bits of metal are shown against a lighter for scale. Assuming something is seriously wrong with the gear box. Any advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picasso Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 These gear boxes take at least 9 litres of fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdom Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) Those little metal cylinders in your sump are evidence of a roller bearing failure - sorry. It’s very likely that bits of hardened steel escaping a bearing will have done further damage elsewhere. Did you also drop the strainer? A full inspection and rebuild likely more expensive than sourcing a replacement (used, possibly refurbished) gearbox.

martin bevins Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Yes I did remove the stainer. Going to source another gearbox. Thanks for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
