Well i'm need of another gearbox, as this one isn't worth fixing.

Casing is cracked and plenty bits have been damaged.

If i can find a used 5 speed gearkit, i'd pay the extra, but can't afford new. And want to stick to a 5 speeder, as i've recently bought a twin plate clutch for the 5 speed. Anyone know of a gearkitted 5 speed for sale???

 

David Wallis?
Steven Darley?

Got a wanted on 22B Graham. Hopefully they'll see it and say they know of a excellent condition one, going for pennies!

 

5 speed cluch will fit 6 speed gearbox

 

Will it? Looking at websites for this Exedy, they are 2 different clutches...
Exedy Carbon Twin Plate

 

5sp flywheel will fit 6sp but not the other way round. Also means you can retain the 5sp starter.

 

Sorry, let me expand.

If you are fitting a 6 speed to an engine that had a 5 speed, then you can leave the flywheel on the engine and use a 5 speed clutch on the 6 speed.

Of course if you have a car with a 6 speed as standard, then the engine would already have the flywheel for a 6 speed, hence you would definately need a 6 speed clutch when replacing it.

 

Got you. Cheers guys. Spose i'd need the rear diff to go with the 6 speeder though?

Maybe my options aren't too bad afterall.

 

Not if you find a UK 6 speed (pre06 I think), but I'm sure JB can tell you all about it

 

Okay doke. Cheers.
