knowing how fast he is, i recon he got 1 and its fitted by now

haha more than likely lol

if i had got a gearbox at pvs, it would be on by now.
waiting for the courier to drop it by. just hope it fits. gone for the f16 with short ratios so it accellerates a lil bit quicker

gearbox arrived.
looked like its been stood for years... outside... in a field....



anyway. fitted it after many hours of swearing on my own.
but it was jammed in gear

so.. took my broken gearbox and removed the selector tower off and as it had no problem selecting gears looked how it was setup

then removed the new box.. problem it was in gear but the selector wasnt.
so reset that



you can see 3 little tabs at the top. they are the selectors. one was out of line.

so sorted that. then it would go into gear. but not with the engine running, so after giving up. then being stubborn i got it selecting gears but reverse was iffy.

so spent a hour playing with linkage this morning

got all gears fine., bar 5th is a little tight.

it could do with more adjustment but stuff it, its working

also had a problem with the new short shaft being corroded,. and sticking on the hub. so had to free all that off.

then found a water leak, changed a hose,.. i think its cured. oil leak is still present.
