ROD,
the GEARBOX in your ute is out of a TE50.
I got that gearbox from MAL WOOD AUTOMOTIVE.
We fitted it after SMASHING 3RD GEAR SYNCHRO ASSEM. at TOWNSVILLE DRAGS a couple of years ago.
NEV at NB PROP WORKS in SVENDSON ST would be able to weld it for you.
You will have to give him the extension housing only,as he doesnt do anything but the welding.
They do EXCELENT work at a very reasonable rate.
Otherwise RON at PRO-ACTIVE ENGINEERING in STURT ST.
Why did it crack.
