my problem is its an A series box, but i only have A plus casings left . . i know its been discussd before , but can the A set go into the A plus box, discounting the drops. Easily. Apart from the drops the casings are basicly identical. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

I have stripped a few high mileage a plus gearboxes with cracks in the same place, although they dont have anywhere near the power of your car! There is an casing in the forsale section. Edited by Star Mag on 14th Jul, 2008. |

Iam sure with all the forum users we have here at TM a few folk may be able to donate something to someone who more often than not is one of the first to reply when folk are asking for help, like i say i have remotes but no box, i will ask about up here for you too. nothing but FOC though :)

You may weld, but you'll have to machine the casing where the bearing fits afterwards. Worth the hassle? Also, the layshaft holes become fucked when this happens. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Carl - I think your problem is (as you rckon) that you split the casing first - and I have a feeling that with a high-powered Rear engine setup, this could happen again with too much weight shift to the rear.
On 15th Jul, 2008 fastcarl said:
ordered a new CWP, mainshaft, and a pinnion support spedo drive housing, Those pinion supports like the KAD one can do more damage than good - if the casing flexes (which it does) then it is no real problem if the shaft (s) flexes with it - so long as the angular deflection of the bearing can be tolerated. But if you now try preventing the flex through the shaft, And still have a flexible case around the MS main bearing, you're going to seriously over-load your bearings. I've spent a lot of time in bearing and case analysis doing this - it is a balancing act between shaft and casing stiffness, and bearing radial capacity and angular misalingment. I know there isn't a whole lot of space for doing this, but if you could get another piece in the casing which sits in the 'empty' side of the centre wall and is fixed along the sides and bottom, this would stiffen up the case a treat - rather than complicating matters by turning it into a 3-wall mainshaft. Maybe welding in some 3/4" thick blocks to the surfaces, then machining them square and bolting in a centre wall through these blocks is more feasible than a fixed piece? Finally - I don't know how much room is on top of the web (crank clearance) but if you could form and weld in a 1" x 1/2" strip of quality allloy over the top of the web, that'd also do wonders for the stiffness. I do feel you'll be doing this again before too long otherwise. Edited by turbodave16v on 15th Jul, 2008. On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

Perhaps your ideas Dave are something Carl can use when preparing another gearbox casing for the rear engine with time on his hands, at the moment I'm sure his aim is to get it back together as quickly as possible ready for MITP.

well Looks like the failure here has been caused by the bearing retainer bolt most likely when the drilling was made a small crack was left when the torque came on the gears they tried to force each other apart putting a massive tensile load on the piece of alloy joining one side of the box to the other, as far as I am aware these holes are only drill using a twist drill and are not reamed I have seen many failures in alloy caused by non reaming of holes.

I find the easiest way is to super glue the bolt to the end of one of my fingers. ______________________________________________________ |

I had the same problem several times with the 4 bolt bearing retainer casings - I switched to 3 bolt casings, polished the web above the bearing and the problem disappeared.... Bimmer Twinky headed and turboed A-Series:

the lay shaft is different from a to a+ which means you would need to use a a+ laygear which in turb you would need to run a a+ gear kit.
