Gearbox measurement needed - wbx

Post by silverbullet »

Anyone got their manual gearbox on the floor/bench and with a wbx petrol bellhousing attached?

I would very much like to know how much the input shaft protrudes beyond the face of the bellhousing, it's only about 15mm or so iirc but I would like to work to a real number rather than a vague recollection!

Ta,

Ian
