Engine code & Gearbox

Post by gmc »

Hi all,

Is my '84 1.9 Petrol LHD likely to be a DG engine? How to I tell for definite?

It currently has a 4sp gearbox. If converting to 5sp, will any Petrol gearbox from a 1.9 petrol fit?

One final question please, if I fit a 5sp box, are the current shafts & gear linkage compatible?

Thanks

The engine number is on the rear facing flat rectangle at the base of the crankcase breather tower.

No 4speed and 5 speed linkages are not exactly the same, my best advice would be to either keep it as it is OR buy the complete set forom the knog down and back.
