pauldee Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 OK guys might be a silly question but i gonna put a type 9 gearbox in my mk1 , what i need to know is what sierra does this gearbox come out of. is it any particular model i need ..
wild pete Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 you can use cvh engined ones up to 92 model as well theyve not had so much power going through em
pauldee Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 ok chaps picked up a 5speed gearbox tonight out of a jelly mould (cvh engined one) not that i m ready to fit it yet but what do i need as mounts ie do i need rs gearox lowering blocks , and what bottom mount are you all using, or is it a home made jobbie.
bomber1 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 you can do it two ways. because my mk1 had already had a bad 5speed install capriclive who done all the welding unstitched a capri gearbox mounting plate and re stiched it under the new tunnel. so now im useing a capri x-member and it looks like a factory mount. or you cut your mounts off and place them furter back using the escort gearbox x-member.
pauldee Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 Nice one cheers for that, seems easy enough then, betting get cutting , i am hoping to paint it next month so i have got to get all these bits done..
