It's been a while and the T25 has the AAZ conversion in and is running pretty nicely. I've done a few miles and overall its running great. Couple of minor niggles and maybe a gearbox change is needed. Just wanted opinions on any others who've done it. I've been having a good read of old posts to get a feel but I'm not finding much results on AAZ gearbox.
I've noticed on some left hand bends, the engine can just die. I'm assuming its fuelling and wondered if anyone else fitted an extra electrical fuel pump. My Dad thinks the fuel may be airating (can't see any leaks). If its not this it may be electrical but the wiring was all refreshed before installation.
With regards to gearbox I knew it would be geared incorrectly, 1.6d box on a 1.9 but it really needs a little more I think. First is pointless, 2nd is like first should be and 60 in 4th feels like its screaming (not helped with the performance air filter we had to modify into the air vents to get it without adapting the engine lid. Obviously reducing the revs will make it a bit more ear friendly.
Any original boxes worth considering or should I look elsewhere? I did hear the 5 speed box is not much better because its more fragile and the 5th is not much different to 4th on the 4 speed. Anyone had any good experiences with alternative boxes on an AAZ?
Or should I just consider modifying 4th for example?
Cheers all, good to be back in the t25
