Whats this?

[Takeshi]

Looking at the gearobx, the tail housing has this funny thing on the end of it, I assume it for the prop-shaft, though if taken out its just like a normal box where you put the prop into the hole. I was told it did come out a Capri, its a 2.0L.

 

Also looks like someone has snapped something off...I'm not sure what is it. Don't know if you can see it?

Looks like an end of a sierra prop or similar, probably stuffed in the end acting as an oil bung

[Takeshi]

Oh ok, cheers mate

[caprinerd]

its the end of the prop that the hardy splicer conects to instead of a universal joint

[stephens_xpack]

Hmmmmmmm........hardy splicer.

is the bit broken off a reverse light switch

is the bit broken off a reverse light switch

 

I thought that

 

Guess when it comes to using the box I'll have to get a stud extractor or something similar.

 

Or just swap the extension housing?

[bortaf]

Yeh that's the reverse light switch

you might be able to hammer a spline tool in there and wind it out, shouldn't be that tight without the outer nuts friction to the case
