im beggining to realise this
Cal, going ok so far gearbox out and both stripped. swapping everything over now.
i did notice when i drained the oil from the box that wont select 2nd a lot of swarf and a chunk of metal that looks a part of a circlip
. and with the box split found that the small bearing that runs on a slider on the gear selection rod was loose with no circlip attatched to hold it on tight.

Yeah I've had parts off him before with no issue so thought I could trust him with this, wish I hadn't now he'd said it was a good box with no crunches etc. Apparently had driven the car it was in 150miles ... I fitted it and had nothing but issues no second gear and crunches into 3rd. When I told him this he was adamant there was
Nothing wrong with it and then ignored all my following messages/attempts to get in contact about a refund or part of my
Money back.
Thought fuck it I'll try make a good one out of the 2 as I'm getting no where with that bell end.
Cal, yeah had a good day on it today shame I've not got a spare oil seal otherwise I'd have had it back on the road tonight lol

Me too Nic me too .. I love the fact they are made of cheese
after countless times stripping things out the bay it was looking a mess with everything scratched and dirty, decided because i would be attending trax that i should paint a few things up and give the bay a clean
It maybe a bit marmite but i fecking love it
Its a red/gold flip rocker, belt & battery cover
xe inlet & verniers also fitted
