Hi

Can anyone confirm that a 5 speed box will mate to an AEF block ?

Thanks

Matt

If the "five speed box" is from a T3 then yes, it will... As long as it has a diesel bell housing and input shaft.

using the diesel bellhousing yes

Thanks v much Adian

Whats your charity of choice ? - I will make a donation as a thanks for the info

ps

No need for different input shaft then ? (I didn't think there would be)

All the very best

Matt

sorry, you need the diesel input shaft fitted which is shorter than the petrol one

Oh dear,

I wonder.... does that mean I will need to buy a petrol input shaft for my RJES subaru conversion ?

I have just had to shell out an unexpected £230 for a new petrol tank and all associated - the missus is having a fit

Richard from RJES wasn't 100% sure about 1.6CS diesel input shafts..

Matt

you'll need a petrol input shaft for the RJES bellhousing, I should be able to let you have a preloved one, you'll also need the petrol clutch fork cast arm and a clutch slave bracket and support bracket from a petrol bellhousing and ideally the petrol gearbox mount and rear linkage, I have the slave bracket and mount but I don't think I have a 2wd petrol rear linkage

why the talk of AEF if you are going subaru?

Its for the fella that bought my AEF...

Im letting him have everything else I don't need to keep to make it fit a petrol 2.1 van.
