Sparky Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Cars off the road Having gearbox trouble, think the diff is about to collapseIn two minds to keep the car off the road and FTE it but I have no moneyAlso I finish uni next week and need to find a job which would mean i need transport But theres a Starlet breaking with 50k on the clock so may just get the complete engine and box to save hassle as my engine is wanked anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scutch0 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 But theres a Starlet breaking with 50k on the clock so may just get the complete engine and box to save hassle as my engine is wanked anywaythats the best way to do it sparks... i found it much easier just pulling the old engine out and putting new engine in, than juts trying to pull just the box out, i did the complete swap in 4 hours drive in and drive out. (but i had to reuse my old box so had to swap it onto new motor and change clutch at the same time) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Im looking into it Rich....just found another one breaking with 43k on the clock...but its £300 for the lot delieveredHave to have words with the old man but hes on about rebuilding the diff ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Gearbox is out... the diff cracked the gearbox casing It also fucked a wheel bearing and stubb axle so need those aswell Oh and a clutch... hopefully the old man is stripping the gear box and then see if the LSD Rick has got will fit an n/a box, may also get an uprated clutch Will keep you posted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
