Have an OS Giken 1 - 5 box i bought off mayhem last year, just before Powercruise (October 2011). It was in the car approx 3 weeks before i busted it at Powercruise, driving like a numpty.

It's been sitting in my shed since as i went back to a standard box for the interim while i repaired the OS box, but the standard one has held up fine for 12 months & i have no incling to fix the one in my shed... So it's up for sale now. Suspected broken Lay Shaft, but i will confirm tonight once i crack it in half. If my suspitions are correct, it is an easy fix & the gears are all still good... It just doesn't currently have reverse or forward gears 1, 2, 3 & 5... Which is why i beleive it to be the shaft.

Wanting $1200 as is or $3k repaired. Open to offers though as i need some cash, so don't be scared to lowball.

Email/text/phonecall preferred as i wont be on here a whole lot in the near future.

Thought i'd update in here to save being asked the same questions over & over again...

I am in Perth, WA. Freight is not an issue provided you pay for it.

I got the box open to a point where i could see a few of the cogs & all seemed sweet. Couldn't pull the bellhousing any further forward that approx 1.5 inches due to something holding it back & my peanut sized brain not being able to work out exactly what. When i spin the input shaft it will spin freely for say 2 revolutions, then bind up & turn the gears slightly before spinning freely again. This confirms in my mind that it is a shaft that has sheered & when the pieces re-connect, it turns everything slightly before 'letting go' again.

I have 6 people all saying they definitely want it pending what i find when i finally manage to get it open fully. 3 of them are willing to pay my asking price (which is extremely generous), so i recant my statement above about "lowballers welcome" for now.

I will do my best to crack it completely early this week, but i have quite a lot on & can't commit to anything at this stage.

Soooooo, anyone care to share some info on how exactly to seperate the bellhousing completely? I have taken off the nosecone piece that houses the bearings & slides over the input shaft, taken off 3 x circlips (2 from around bearing case that sits on input shaft, 1 from the little shaft that pertrudes through bellhousing on top left), i have undone all bolts that connect bellhousing to box body (12 in total from memory) & i am now stuck with a 1.5" gap between bellhousing/box. Is there more than 3 circlips & i am missing one? Is there a secret nut/locking mechanism somewhere i am failing to recognise?? Am i not using a big enough hammer??? Haha

Cheers all.
