Actually think this was the oil maybe? - i was trying Castrol 80w/90 EPX - have had the box tilted down again and the end casing off (because i love it so much) but couldnt find any particular issue.
Because it wasn't coming off normal as i had popped the reverse circlip the 5th gear clutch pieces all fell out etc so i used a spare 5th gear synchro / hub etc i had from Mr Swan and reassembled.
Going to now run the Penrite 80w/90 - it has EP additives so hopefully all good..
One thing i did do in the name of progress was install a wheel speed sensor.
Came from a Nissan Navara D40 - in an intricate operation with tweezers etc i managed to mount a stainless stud off the hole already in the caliper bracket and then setup the sensor to read off the wheel bolts - 12 per rev gives me 6630 pulses per 1000m. Air gap 1.5mm - reads well and leaves a little room for wheel flex.
