Gearbox collar

I have had some issues with the gears on my Talbot Express. Hopefully changing the gearbox collar will fix the issue I am having with selecting reverse gear.
Matilda is an old van and I think it is worth replacing her worn components, where I can.

HI Chris. I used to go to Coastal motorhomes. They do virtually everything for the Talbot Express and the fiat Ducato.

Have you got the gear box oil change video

[@acampervanwithaview5718]

That was an old project Jess. That van has now gone to the graveyard. But I did change the oil after I put the gearbox back in

[@acampervanwithaview5718]

I didnt do a videao of that one. But there is a plug near the bottom of the gearbox, just remove that and squirt in gearbox oilthen once it starts leaking out, thats it full, replace the plug...job done x

Hi Colin. I am just going to change all the bits I can. Ready for a BIG trip I have had in mind for a few years now. We seem to have taken on a few weak links when they changed the vans to right hand drive. But I love her xx
