A CLUNKING NOISE FROM MY T18 BACK AXEL ?

True - but a new trans IS cheaper that a new tractor, and you CAN fit a heavy-duty version.

Depands on the condition of the rest of the tractor.

Sorry to say you have probably lost some teeth off a pinion in the transmission.

In theory, you can tear it down and rebuild it, but parts are hard to find (particularly now, as Peerless are in a state of flux following the folding of associate company Tecumseh), and ruinously expensive if available.

Only sensible option is a replacement transmission. There are some around (at the moment) - if you need a quote drop me a line with the numbers off your existing unit.
