gearbox in and running~

Finally, all the gears and bearings of my TE72's T50 gearbox was in place (thanks Heng for waiting me to took photos ;)) now it looks shinny and ready for a ride in mango again ^.^ high-rev style~!
all the pieces in place and ready for installation~
i never knew it was only a gear away from first gear and reverse gear. they share the same main gear~
close it up and test all the running before sealing it up with silicon gum.

all the bearing look nice and shinny ^.^ i love shinny metal piece lol~~
finally, back to where it belong, ready to transfer power from mango's heart into the rear wheels. (tips, dun ever put in gear oil which is thinner than 75/90, if you do so, your gearbox will be very noise~ metal cranking noise - LOUD~! ) i'm using toyota original 75/90 gear oil for it. works well for me, plus it's lot cheaper :P
new coupling was installed as well - no more noisy long shaft
Ah Heng installing back my bear nop and housing. He's one of the best gearbox specialist you an find in Penang and some say parit bunta~ lol~
