Hi Guy's - looking for a little advise - since it is the weekend in this part of the world I had chance to do some strip down work on my recently acquired X4.6 - unfortuneately the previous owner gave it to me because it didn't run well - but after today I can see it's mush worse than that and will need much more to get it back to former glory - I have tried to attach some pic's but failed so I have tried to explain each component. I was wondering if this type and number of failures are normal - or is there something more serios I sould be looking at?
Clutch shoes - look to be worn on outer edges and the mounting holes have elongated - clutch bell - the gear is worn as though it was poorly meshed - slipper clutch - cracked and contaminated. They all need replacing but I was looking for advise on going stock or modified - I know the spur was replaced with a steel replacement - current gearing is 15/49 - is this a good ratio for general use - and as I live in the worlds biggest sand box will it work on the dunes??
Any help would be appreciated
