Just sold my gearbox, but before I delivered it I put it on the bathroom scales.

48kgs inc the bell housing and some oil!!

Glad I didn't post it!!!

"How many time I gota tellya , You only sapposta weigh the gear box"lol

Crikes thats only a few kilos off the weight of a bike engine not to forget the pinto at 110 +-.

Yep not light...

Steel BH makes up a lot of that... So the alloy ones are worth it if ya can find em.

You can also buy Alloy cases but for MUCHO £££

MT75 is a fair bit lighter, but no use on a pinto

Compares to 29kg for a Toyota T50 and 35kg + bellhousing for a Ford/Tremec T5
