T90 gearbox in Mitsi J26 help please

Post by Invicta » Mon Jun 27, 2011 5:23 am

here in the UK I have column change 4 speed KM141 (based on the T90) in my 1975 Mitsubishi Model J26 Jeep.

It is relatively difficult to get 2nd gear to engage and so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?
All other gears engage and disengage well enough.

Or might someone be able to recommend a place that would take the box out, recondition it and put it back in.
Preferably somewhere around the west midlands or south west as I live in Tewkesbury.

All help will be very much appreciated,
Bern

Understand how system parts interact with one another. GOOD parts can then be established & the NOT GOOD problem/s part/s isolated for repair or replacement.

If it's not broke then don't fix it - I like your style.

Unfortunately it can get a bit "uncomfortable" when other drivers are expecting the Mitsi to move
especially when turning across on comming traffic. :)

Updated info on this.

The gearbox is a KM141 (column change version of the floor change KM140).

I'm currently trying to find out what other gearboxes the internal parts were used in.
If anyone has any information I would appreciate hearing from you :)

Cheers,
Bernard
