Hi everyone,
I think i'm the " unluckiest " man in the world
I bought a 2500 miles SRT 10 last year. Truck as new, from a private US cars collector. I add some perfomances parts like sct tuner, JTSVP throttle body & pulley, full exhaust, etc..
After few miles, i had VERY strange noise from motor... after opening motor, i found 1 bend push rod and one missing ( i finally found the half in carter ).
i repaired everything, etc... 10000 miles later, again a noise, this time the lifters... i change them by slow bleeds, noise is better, but still present...
and last week, i killed the gearbox. i opened, and all the 1 st gear is dead ( needle bearing melt on the mainshaft ). ok i agree, i drive in high RPM, but honnestly, for a 16000 miles car, i can't believe so many problem. The car is really new, i perfectly see it, all parts are like new, exactly like a new car from garage, i have no doubt about that.
I had probably to do a full revision before drive it. the car didn't moved at all for years, it's probably not good.
So, actually, my main problem is i need to this gearbox. The second problem is i'm located in belgium, as this car wan't officially imported, it's really hard to find parts.
I have to change the mainshaft. this part looks out of stock everywhere... ( part # 04626467 ), and i really don't know where to find it ?
Changing the necessary parts will cost me +- 800$, for only 1st gear ! ( other gears looks good ). It exist maybe a full rebuilt kit ? or second hand ? i really need your help & advices
