gearbox differences
Turbo Mini Forums

okay guys,

im a compete noob when it comes to gearboxes, I now currently have 2 of them and the idea is to build one up to go onto my 1275 SPI mini.

one has the the "A/BZ3 BC DAM 5626" in the casting
and the other has "A/BZ4 BC&M DAM 5626"

what is the difference between them? upon inspection to me they seem the same?

thanks guys

Jonny

I dont think they are going to be different enough to concern you,

as they are DAM5626 they are both A+ and all the bits will interchange,

have a look at the pinion bearing retainer, three bolts is good 4 is bad, apart from that nothing really matters.

thanks for the reply Joe,

like I said i was unable to determine much of a difference between the two! but tbh I dont really know what im looking at when it concerns gearboxes but only one way to learn ey!

i want to make a SC box and a friend of mine recommended the http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/...ack%20to%20shop

not sure if this is a good choice??

yep, good gear kit that, its what most people on here use.

if your ok with a set of spanners a gearbox isnt too hard to do, the only bad bits are stripping/ rebuilding the mainshaft (as theres a silly little fiddlily locking ring) and getting baulk rings that are good... normally best to use 2nd hand ones if they don't look too shagged.

Well I'm pretty good on the spanners ( for a 21 year old) never paid for any work on my mini before so I won't be starting now :) my dads a tool maker so ill get him to help me :p

You should be fine then.
