This might be a stupid question, but as I'm new to the A series I though I'd ask. I have been offered a gearbox from a 998A+, and was wondering if it would fit my 1293 A+ turbo engine? I know the diff will not be man enough but what about the rest of it? Flat oot like a dukes fit! |

It will physically fit, but if you put any power through a used and unknown standard box it will only end in tears and ££££££ On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Ok cool. But the casing will be ok? I have no box at all just now so looking for a starting point. Flat oot like a dukes fit! |

Yeah, the casing will be fine. You might be lucky and get a more desirable final drive. Always worth having a few donor boxes for synchro hubs, baulk rings etc On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Depends on gear ratios and wheel size. Have a look at guess works ratio calculator once you have picked your gear set. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Ok thanks. I was going to strip the box to replace the bearings anyway. I would like to put sc gears in but funds don't allow me to do that just now. Is there a set of gears that I should fit just now to get me on the road with out costing 400 odd pound. Flat oot like a dukes fit! |

Use the standard gears, but replace all the bearings etc. Check the gears very carefully for wear. It might take a few boxes to get a good combination of parts to make one usable unit. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Also if i remember the bearing in the transfer case for the input gear is smaller than on the A+ 1275 item. Worth a mention Own the day

That's true I have one of those gearboxes, still can't tell you the year because I bought the engine and box from a mate but if there is any markings on the casing that any one knows about I can check it out. Alan

I think Mr Joshu is referring to the idler gear bearings in the side of the gearbox and transer casing - they are smaller on a pre-A plus (whatever capacity). Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

I've also herd it can be ground away to make it clear the crank, don't know how successful that is or if its true. Main Build
