BUMP!

As above really as i put a 1300HC crossflow lump in me MK1 Escort and the gearbox blew the other day (first gear) I just wondered does the 1300 gearbox have stronger parts or something as i don't think it should have broken the way it did its snapped half the teeth off of the first gear cog Anyone know of any differences between the two boxes?

Thanks for the offer mate but got one sorted getting it tonight i got the old one out in and hour which i thought was good Gonna get the new one fitted in tomorrow Thanks for all the support guys

Its a really bad feeling ive had it a few times now i think it goes with having an Oldskool Ford there always seems to be something or another breaking

Tell me about it mate i feel like crap at the moment got to get the crappy bus to college tomorrow

As above really went to pull away and it went bang its totally blown 1st gear is wont even move in first! So i am extremely fooked off after all of the hard work to put the new engine and clutch in and clean the gearbox up and put it on and fill it with nice new oil and then that happens what a load of crap I am seriously thinking to get rid of it soon its just been one thing after another and ive spent all my money doing the engine and engine bay up etc so it will be a while before i get the money together for another box unless me Dad or one of me mates lends me it

Im going 1) BaileyMex 2) Dazza ( + another 3 cars TBC) 3) Sutton4ord 4) Haynesmanual 5) 72mk1escort Does anyone know if you can pay on the gate? And if so how much is it?

Put some rad flush through it mate could be a blocked rad or water way etc. Worth a go

Im going to be coming as its 5 mins from me Will there be a stand for us?

Yeh i probably will get a K&N filter when i can get one cheap enough

My engine bay is now finished and im now running a nice little 1300 xflow with a twin choke weber (from a 1300GT) and a ashley 2" system with a 4 branch performance manifold (go on the crossflow ) Just need to get myself a nice chrome high flow air filter when i can afford it Heres some pictures of the finished article: It was definitely well worth doing even though i was without a car for a week and it was pretty hard work
