T25 Nissan Bluebird

[t25bluebird]

Hi all.
My T25 has a Nissan Bluebird engine . 2l diesel. pulls really well in first then revs drop when i change to 2nd. the engine is well suited for the van apart for 2nd gear , will cruise at 70 no bother. any ideas about the lack of oomph in 2nd gear???. an has anyone else heard of a bluebird engine in a T25??

new to me that engine conversion but they are not to bad engines from the few I have worked on. sound like the 2nd gear ratio is wrong the engine. what code gearbox do you?

[t25bluebird]

The code on the gearbox is DU . seems to be a petrol gearbox.

Not that great in the box areas but suggest that may well be the problem

thanks, will have a look around for a diesel box.
Does anyone know which would be the best box for this engine?, its about 80bhp.

5speed 3H would be good or a highish ratio 4 speed petrol box be careful of sme of the iesel 4 speed boxes they can be very low geared .......that low on the limiter at 60mph
Best to speak to Aidan Talbot hes the top man when it comes to gearboxes
