Hi,

I am after specific rebuild info on 711.113 which is the 5 speed van gearbox; have 2 now, one has poorly synchro on 2/3, the other has broken rear housing at output bearing circlip groove and 1/2 synchro fork wear because of failed bearings. So I have the makings of a decent box... but will need to reset the bearing gaps/spacers I presume and a couple of torque's would be nice. So a decent workshop manual would be of great help.

1. www.4x4abc.com/G-Class/460.html will do the Wolf gearbox for $46 which is £45 if I wait for it.

2. WIS need 10 Euro for an hour or 45 Euro for the day .. instant gratification but limited time to use the "PRT SCR" button!

3. Apparently if you join MB owner's club.. the right one!! http://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=3 then there is free WIS/EPC and some manuals .. is anyone a member and what sort of stuff/access do you get plus membership cost?

4. Dodgy CD/DVD off ebay .. been there and not got the prize.. fell over on XP but did work for EPC on Windoze 98.. WIS never worked.

.. option 3 maybe best for long term access if they have have the right bits and I would save on EPC subs.. so answer would be nice.

Still G less 3 months in due to Gearbox.., still have 1/2 mile drive which is not car-able due to ice .. but other half's "Toy" Rav-4 actually has a lockable central diff so does the job.

TIA

The proper Mercedes-Benz Club is here http://www.mercedes-benz-club.co.uk/ and there you get full access to the WIS and the EPC, that other 'club' is just a front to a publishing company and has no ties to MB or any access to the WIS or EPC.
 It costs me 30 quid a year for my membership and that includes the Club magazine once a month and the Mercedes Benz Classic magazine 3 times a year.
There's discounted insurance available to members.
Discounted parts and  service from MB
The club organises lots of events for members in the UK and abroad.
See more here http://www.mercedes-benz-club.co.uk/public/membership.htm
The g wagen model register captain is a really nice chap too
