I am looking for a rebuild kit for my '88 Raider 5 Speed KM145 and ran across these on eBay for a D50 - anyone know if one of these also cross references to the Raider?

Kit 1
Kit 2

Thanks!

The Seller seems to have very detailed descriptions seems ot "know his stuff" I would contact him and ask. Thanks for the link, great prices!

I shot him a note already but have not heard back. My guess is neither of these have the correct input shaft bearing - which happens to be toast on mine :-(

If I had to guess (remember its a guess) the 2nd kit sounds to be about right. The 2nd kit if the description is correct should work on the KM145 in the Raiders/Monteros 87 and up (that have the KM145 of course).

Mine is very noisey.

How did yours go bad? Just curious. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

i want to buy that kit right now but it seems like the guy may have many of them.

I checked the Seller's feedback and it is flawless.
He has been selling Hard to Find Trans and Transfer Rebuild Kits for Old and Foreign made Trucks for a couple years on FLEABAY.
Lots of Comments about "working excellent" and "great quality".

I saw that he sold a couple of the d-50 kits! i guess those guys aren't on the wire. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Yes mine is also really noisy when the clutch pedal is NOT depressed in neutral. Plan was to pull it this week and replace the clutch etc... but I am almost out of "week" and I am back to work next. Also I don't have a transmission jack or a hoist. So I did some calling around today and found a transmission shop to do all the labor R&R and transmission work for $400. Truck is there now. Figured I would have those guys do the input shaft bearing at the same time. They don't have any problem with me supplying the parts. Putting in a Luk Clutch - is it OK?

My son has a raider just like mine. His is very quiet when the clutch is not depressed. mine is noisey. I suppose the trans needs to be disassembled to replace the bearing?

I do not know anything about that Luk clutch. i replaced mine about 6 months ago. I used a medium clutch ( sachs ).

I now regret not having put in a centerforce or some other top of the line clutch.

When i went crawling; the clutch burned bad at a couple points. very smelly of course.

If you are not going to Crawl then you will be ok.

In the very near future i am going to pull trans and replace the bearing and put in the best disc and plate i can find!

I keep going back and forth about trying to rebuild mine. Mine is making noise when the clutch peddle is out. I have been eyeing this place for a while now
LINK Dodge Raider 87-89 kit with syncro rings but I just don't know what all it would take to tare one of these things apart and put it back together again... correctly <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> On their site they reference the transmission for that year as a km145-9 with 24mm wide Front Input. Does that sound correct to anyone who knows?

Hmmm that kit in Flebay sounds good. I got a little over 396k on my transmission, it is working fine but it does grind a bit when downshifting from 5 to 4th and a bit from 2nd to 3rd.

I don't want to wait until it starts making noises or breaks down completely.

from what i can see.... the 3.0 has the V5MT1 trans

the 2.6 has the KM145 trans.


is this correct?
