Can anyone suggest a mechanic that knows their way around a Borg Warner Velvet Drive gearbox.

...I was earlier this week, now in Uxbridge. I have forward but no reverse

 

Already spoke to Primrose Engineering...he's never worked on a BWVD before!

Have you had a chance to peruse a manual?....Highly over engineered piece of machinery!.....has it put you off?

[RLWP]

I have had a dig through diagrams and parts lists. It's a bit like a cross between a PRM (hydraulic, plate clutches) and a Lister (reverse cluster with straight cut gears)

 

Not too scary

Just managed to borrow a manual....will peruse to to see if troubleshooting might have a quick fix!...fingers crossed.

Next step clean oil strainer, and try to bleed air from system.....now to work out how to do it!

[Clive A]

Oil strainer is broken! .....so might have debris blocking oilways up

[RLWP]

And possibly the oil pump
