brad 0 Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 Please help.. I've recently removed the gearbox from my 89 pre-lit & I'm struggling to identifie what box it is... As it attaches to a kent block I was expexting a Rocket box as pictured in my ford escort manuals. As a rocket box top cover has 8 bolts holding it on this has 4? & there is'nt a piece going accross the middle of the opening holding the selector mechanisum, it seems the cover holds part of the selector mechanisum.... Oh yes.... it does have ford markings stamped on it if that helps...... Any advice would be welcomed........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DVAndrews 1 Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 If it has an integral remote gearchange it could be a 3 rail mexico/2000E box or a single rail box, if it has an ally tube connecting the top of the box to the remote, its a single rail, if it doesn't have one it's a 3 rail mexico/2000E box.

Keith Scarfe 0 Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 Dave. You forgot to mention the identification picture on the Se7ens server. Have a look at this: http://pub.se7ens.net/pictures/closeups/drivetrain/GearboxID.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brad 0 Posted January 8, 2002 Author Share Posted January 8, 2002 Superb guys. That page was just what I needed. Its a single rail box, I dont know weather thats good or bad. The box seems strong enough it has about 160+bhp put through it regularly at sprints & hillclimbs. Now I need to know if tranex/quaife do gear sets for them??? Any more advice would be more than welcome.. Cheers Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keith Scarfe 0 Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Now I need to know if tranex/quaife do gear sets for them??? Of course they do, they do gears for just about everything but £££££££££££ There is also a company called BGH that do gears for most of the ford boxes. You might want to check these out. Again I will point to some of DVA's info. Have a look at: http://members.aol.com/dvandrews/bghpage.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clive 0 Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 You may wish to take a look at www.tran-x.com This will give you clear pictures of the different boxes together with a variety of geraings to suit. Clive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
