What gearbox do I need?

[72BUG]

My gearbox has packed up on my 2ltr Aircooled (CU engine)

Now looking for a replacement box.

Can anyone tell me what the box code is for this engine?

Thanks.

bugger..........

AS grumps says... DK code.. 2L Aircooled T25 only box..

Bugger! There's a DH on fleabay at £190

The sliders have a box for sale which would be idal as it's not too far away and not too pricey. Only problem is it's from a 1.6, but they had it fitted to their 2ltr.

Now I know nothing about gearboxes so what is the differece from a running and fitting point of view? Is it a really bad idea?

Thanks for the advice.

Oh bugger martin! Sure there is a list of all the ratio's etc on brickyard?

Hmmm biggest difference is that a 1.6 is a clutch cable, and 2lt is hudraulic clutch. Presuming that if you have 2lt, the hydraulics are there.....dunno if the 1.6 gear box will work with that.

If its of interest I had a 1.6 ct box on our 2.0 cu engine and it only managed about 65 flat out .. not worth it unless your really stuck and its stupidly cheap ..

yes ours was a cable clutch cable dunno if that makes any differnce x

Thanks for the help and advice everybody. Looks like the 1.6 is a no goer. Too much work for what would basically be a bodge. I'd rather do the job properly.

So, still on the lookout for a 2ltr Cu box if anybody has one.

Thanks

have you spoken to aiden about a rebuild.

have you spoken to aiden about a rebuild.

No not yet. Gonna try and source a second hand box first as it's quicker and cheaper. I need the van to get to work so need to get it back on the road asap.

I may well have the old box recond once it's out.

Not 100% and stand to be corrected but don't think Aiden does Aircooled......

Yeah that's another bit of bad news I found out today.

Been put on to someone who does though so if I can't get one at least I have a backup plan.
