gear box

i am now on the hunt for a good gear box for my new to me 2008 jimny  apart from 2008  what other years are the very same box to give me a bit of buying scope  thankyou

thanx Lambert just what i was looking for this gives me a bit of scope cheers

 

Totally awful pictrue from my cheap chinesium endoscope thru the oil filling plug of my 2013 gearbox when i bught it.
But it shows the green closed bearing.

So if in doubt it should be possible to check if your used gearbox has the updated bearings with the closed sides. 
Color may vary of course.

My 2005 gearbox failed in 2018 after one year of exposing it to the hundred horses of the m16 engine.
Now i have driven the car with the newer box for five years and must be approx 60000km or more.

i have found out what happened to mine somebody before me has changed the oil seal but looks like they went in with a screw driver or something like it and damaged the seal housing so i have yet to solve this problem its not to bad but sure it will get an advisory , i am looking at another box now 2010

Bitumen underseal or something greasy can be put over the damage when you insert the new shaft seal. Or Even tec7 or sika. Easy fix.
If there is bearing noise from the box then swap it before it breaks down.
