Type 9 Reconditioned Box, Not Impressed So Far!

[Guest tom2b]

Thats what i thought, ten out of ten for customer service!

My t5 has a tiny bit of play...just enough that you can feel it. In general, i believe a bit of backlash (play) is normal in almost all gears....but too much obviously implies worn gears or some other type of problem.

Those bits of copper pipe may well be used to fit various bits together outside the box, then are slipped over the shafts and the preasembled bits slid off and then the copper dummy shaft removed.

Untidy workmanship may have left them or dropped them in.

i agree with Paul, most probably used as a drift to protect the surfaces of the gears being fit, but it shouldnt have neen there, better to get it replaced than find out its buggered in a few thousand miles.

 

excellent customer service though.

Yes, there customer service is excellent, aslong as the replacement box is good i will be happy to deal with them in the future.

Just to clarify, in my experience most type 9's have a bit of play in the input shaft so I wouldn't necessarily expect your next reconned box to be free of play there.

Ill check the new one when it arrives and if it isnt excessive ill accept it
