I am desperatley near the point in my rebuild that I am not going to be able to do anything else until I get the engine and gearbox in my car.

Unfortunatly my gearbox requires synchros (type 2 4 speed) and they are like hens teeth to get. My gearbox dude can only get a complete gearset with synchros and it is mega money!!!

I am looking at getting a type E box as at least I can get the parts for these if it requires any work. I know the input shaft is a different size, meaning I will have to get a matching clutch plate.

Is the output shaft the same as my type 2 and is the box the same length/width as the type 2?

Also has anybody got a decent one they want to sell!

Thanks

Shaun

whats this one?

Hi

Looks like a type 2 to me

Thanks to desyboy for info.

Looks like it may be easier to go for a type 9 5 speed as the same mods will have to be made to the prop / clutch.

that one on ebay is being sold by a bloke on here, er, about 2 up the new threads thing. forget what its called

Hi.

Don't forget that not only will the prop and drive plate need changing. But the gearbox mounting on the chassis will need moving backwards also.
