Ive done mine now after watching the videos and asking questions-thanks again.
Cant wait too give it a go in the mud.
Just thought id add some of my finds.
As youve said your oil was contaminated- so i decided to before putting props on to put some miles through TC case.
First batch of new oil came out almost grey/silver with lots of bits of metal present(very small)
Also metal on magnetS----i added another magnetic plug to the filler hole
I progressed to changing the oil 4 times just too try and take as much out as possible.
When positioning the big gear on the shaft i tried too weld it on with as i was told proper rods for hard steel--these didnt work and cracked straight away (next time i would warm them up a bit??)
Will hope that the interferance fit which i believe is all youve used will be enough?
Well if one will brake it will be mine with my welded rear diff and chunky tyres--Lets hope not though.
Thanks again and ill let you know how i get on
First thoughts are nice contolable power- going over big tyre in 1st _________________ Paul

Production of modified shafts is halted. Micke can't get new shafts from Russia for the moment.
We could need a realiable supplier that know how to get a good price from Lada and also can help with shipping and toll and all other paperwork at the borders...
The bits are heavy - and transportation easliy cost more than the parts - unless we can find another way to get them to Mickes workshop in Sweden

Welding on the modified countershaft is a big no-no. You will only add internal tensions in the material and maybe even a "indication of fracture" (?) The shrink-fit is more than enough.
Even if the shrink-fit would slide a few degrees, it will "sieze up" (?) at once and be jammed forever!
Sorry about guessing words and using dictionary - hope the message comes though! _________________ /mats

What parts do i need to supply if i was to fit this into my t/case?.
Third gear and ???.
We need one countershaft, and one crownwheel from a 1600 TC. That will become a Rockcrawler countershaft. THEN you will need an additional third gear wheel when you put it together, at home _________________ /mats

There is just one crown wheel in TC... so: yes - from center diff! _________________ /mats

I enjoyed being able too control a low speed and taking my foot off the brake on a steep incline was easy with the aid of lifting the clutch much easier.
I got a good test 2 days of some very dry and hard surfaces,
I broke a half shaft which caused me too remove my welded rear diff which i wont be putting back in as i prefer it now.
I would strongly recommend this so get your shafts off the man.

dam dam and dam, I was lining up to buy one of these in a couple of months, now I will have to pull my spare TC apart when I get home and send off the parts, but by the time I get them back it will be too late.
please please let us know if you find another way to get the parts, you are doing the whole lada world a favour and for that you should get a medal. _________________ GO the ALL BLACKS
Dad is going to be building one shortly. If I was ever to go back to a manual niva this would be one of the first things I would do. paul's seemed awesome _________________ 1996 2.9v6 lada niva auto
Car mechanical/electrical work undertaken in telford. Doesn't have to be a lada! PM me for details.
Good news from Micke! Parts are arriving from Hungary, and in a few weeks he plan to do some new shafts.
Prices will be adjusted and announced here.
You who have written to me and have got none or negative response - please remind me with a new PM!
...and remember we do not do this to make money... have some patience... _________________ /mats
