Hello there Magna Lovers,

I'm coming to you from the Lancer side of the Diamond. Long time reader, first time poster.

Recently I picked up a KM210 gearbox from the First Gen TN-TP Magna at a wreckers, but am having some problems. I'm currently rebuilding the 'box, but am not having any luck with getting an overhaul kit (i.e. bearings etc.). I don't have a VIN for the car it came from, so the stealerships can't seem to get me a price/availability and most places I phone seem to be a little confused as to why someone would want to overhaul this type of box...

Two questions, if I may:
(1) Does anyone know of a supplier for an overhaul kit for this 'box?
(2) Or, would someone be kind enough to be able to provide me with a VIN for a car that had this box; or, the details of Model Number/Chassis code etc so that the stealership can put it into CAPS?

Many thanks,
Greg

go on to carsales and grab a vin of there

you take the bearings you need to a bearing supplier (yellow pages)
and they match up the numbers/size and type of the bearings

or ask at a gearbox repair shop to supply the bits

There is a gearbox rebuilder in Blacktown who has every gearbox ever made on his shelves waiting for someone that needs an exchange reco.
When I went there he has half a dozen KM132's (Sigma /Scorpion) on the shelves, which is just insane.

Cant remember the business name, but I wouldnt think there would be too many gearbox specialists in Blacktown

Thank you to all for your replies.

I've tried a couple of gearbox shops in Sydney, Tamworth and Brisbane and none of them seem to have any luck, but will try the gearbox mob in Bankstown.
I was hoping to get an overhaul kit because I need things like spacers and bearing retaining (snap) rings.

Cheers for the suggestion about car sales for a VIN, will give that a try.

Thats Blacktown, not Bankstown

some of the boxes were closely linked if not identical to Chrysler in the states and kits to rebuild the series are readily available from there to order as i looked into it on a tn box so do a Google search and download the pd f files and you,ll match up the box # easily
