sedsy Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 She is back on the road thanks to Procomp !! Gearbox had little oil in it (which i thought may have been the case) The thrust bearing was the wrong type hence the noises on tickover without the clutch pedal depressed (Like yours Mark!??) Etc etc Runs like a dream now much smoother changes etc and you cant hit reverse without pressing lever down first (Neil) HEHE Really chuffed and they charge very good rates down at Procomp !! Recomend them to anyone Now where did i put that balaclava ? (cor spell) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedsy Posted October 5, 2003 Author Share Posted October 5, 2003 Well if i am honest i got the original box off a 2 ltr pinto, changed the bell housing to the ally rs2000 one and threw it in (£25) and it did 2500miles without much oil LOL and i didnt realise i should have changed the thrust bearing and shortened the input shaft.

cast iron Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Changing my pinto version to an alloy bell housing this winter. The housing will come with the original release fork. But what is this about shortening the shaft?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.c Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 I beleive I am correct in saying that you only need to shorten the input shaft if you fit a 2.8 gearbox. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
