Looking for MS2B-L Reverse Gear

Hi everyone,

I have managed destroy my current reverse gear for my Volvo Penta 2001. I am looking above and beyond for a replacement.

It needs to be a Volvo Penta MS2B-L model. L stands for Level output shaft. The gear ratio is 2,3. See attached photos.

Does anyone have this laying in their shed, or know if someone might?

Thank you!

Kasper, you might try these folks:

or

Those photos look like a down angle gearbox?

Thank you for the links, I will try to contact them.

I think the engine is mounted with a slight angle do meet the angle of the shaft, not entirely sure. But I am certain it is the L model.

In this diagram you can see the typical MS2B model (or A for angled), next to the L model.

Re: Looking for MS2B-L Reverse Gear

That's an interesting document, do you have a link to the whole document?

I have the VP 2003 with the MS2B - A, which means the engine is level. Could you fit an A box and level the engine up on the engine mounts or brackets? It would give you a great choice of gearboxes.

There are a couple for sale in the UK on E Bay but for collection. You might contact the vendor to see if they would post it aboard via courier.

Yes I might need to re-align the engine to fit an angled gearbox, as they seem to be the only ones I can find.

Here is the link to the gearbox diagram: http://fybmarine.co.uk/pdf/Gearbox-o...ntity-type.pdf

Thanks!

Think Kasper is only after the output shaft but sadly marked as sold.
