Product Description
Reconditioned 4WD Ford Ranger/Mazda BT50 Gearbox WEAT 4WD
Is your 4WD workhorse starting to jump out of 5th gear? Is it making a loud whining transmission bearing noise, crunching through gears, or dropping out of gear entirely? Eliminate your drivetrain issues and secure long-term durability with a premium, heavy-duty reconditioned manual transmission engineered specifically for the Ford Ranger PJ/PK and Mazda BT50 4×4 models running the 3.0L turbo diesel engine. At Gympie 4WD Spares, we don’t just patch up broken parts—our specialized 4×4 transmission technicians completely strip, clean, rebuild, and systematically upgrade every unit to exceed factory specifications.
Our Mazda/BT50 reconditioned gearboxes are modified with a 5th gear upgrade kit to eliminate the most common issue we see – jumping out of 5th gear.
With over 30 years of history supplying high-performance 4×4 engineering to Australian drivers, we back our specialized workshop workmanship with our 12-month / 20,000km warranty so you can hit the touring tracks, tow heavy loads, or tackle the job site with absolute peace of mind.
Premium Rebuild Specifications & Factory Upgrades
The 3.0-litre WEAT turbo diesel engine delivers robust low-end torque, placing massive strain on factory manual drivetrains. Our transmission specialists address known factory weak points directly by building these gearboxes with heavy-duty components:
- Upgraded 5th Gear Kit Installed Standard: Every reconditioned unit is pre-assembled with a reinforced, upgraded 5th gear setup to completely eliminate common factory high-gear failure points.
- High-Durability Component Rebuild Kits: Meticulously assembled utilizing rugged, industry-proven internal component kits.
- 100% Premium Bearings & Seals: Rebuilt exclusively with top-tier, high-durability Japanese bearings and genuine seals to stop oil leaks and minimize gear train friction.
- Full Synchroniser Replacement: Every single synchro ring is swapped out to guarantee smooth, effortless, grind-free shifting under heavy loads.
- Rigorous Multi-Point Bench Testing: Every gearbox passes strict in-house quality control testing before leaving our workshop floor.
