gearbox question for the NZ guys

[BENE38A]

where do you get your gearbox work done, preferably in and around the upper north island i need to get my gearbox stripped re-sealed and inspected whilst in there and possibly another box rebuilt.

wow many views but no one from new zealand knows a good gearbox shop?

I have been using Jeremy at Evoparts down here in Christchurch. He hasnt done any gearbox work for me, apart from fit one, but he is a good mechanic and charges fairly. I know he does do gearbox work and I wouldnt hesitate sending my gearbox to him for work judging on part experience.

I realise hes a distance from you, but at least its a start!

I've used Noel at Mossrax in Wellington before. Again not very close, but in the right island at least!

I did my last one myself though. If you have access to a press and suitable measuring tools it's not particularly difficult, just time consuming making sure the pre-load/endfloat is correct.
(The friend whose press/micrometer I was using also has a big selection of shims collected over years of stripping mitsi boxes which saves having to head down to your local mitsi dealers part way through).
