f28 gearbox

[sickboy]

how easy is it to put f28 box in..alredy got the let and f20 box just wanderind how easy it would be to change..
mounts etc..
think the 6 speed box would suit all the motorway work i do:)

First job is to split the gearbox and put in an F20 speedo ring to make sure the speedo reads correctly.

Next job is to get a 2wd conversion kit and install.

Next job is to move the gearbox mounting forward/make up a bespoke mount

Next job is to shortern the gear linkage so it doesn't foul on the steering rack

That should be about it - oh and forget about slipping the clutches out of the bottom - clutch change on an F28 is a gearbox off job.

also re-new clutch release bearing!:)

seems a big job lopping a mount off and welding one in but its pritty easy!
just having the confidence to make judgements about height of mount etc and remembering the place it slightly higher allowing for sag of the cav rubber box mount!

[sickboy]

so which mount do you have to chop off and re mount??
anyone have any pictures??

[dan16v]

you have to cut off the nova gear box mount from the chassis leg! then make or buy the relevant mount and position/ weld it onto the chassis leg!

You can buy the mount off Mig for about ?35 I believe....
