Turbo Mini Forums

hi lads im in desprate need of a turbo gearbox someone must have one im in lancs but can collect cheers lee

Why a metty turbo box...

the only difference btween one of those and a std mini box is the final drive ratio (3.2:1) and the input shaft has a larger bearing for where is fits in the transfer case... the bearings are interchangeable on the shaft but the big bearing must be used with the big casing, and so on.

how easy is this bearing to change im not really machanicly minded with gearboxes turbo dave told me this before but i thought if it was going to a big job i might aswell buy a turbo box

Piece of piss as long as you have a decent range of tools. Remove circlip, then either use a puller with a bearing seperator plate to get the old one off in one piece, or hammer and chisel the balls and cage off and then carefully drift the inner race off the shaft.

Then carefully drive new bearing on inner race up to the shoulder using a tube or socket, replace the circlip.

one circlip and the bearing comes off the shaft.

The transfer casing is a bit more involved.... you need to heat the case up in the oven then the bearing will fall out if you gently tap behind where the bearing surface sits in the case,,, needs to be so hotyou cnt touch the metal though so be careful!!
