Club 80-90 Forums

Have just been given a t25! Its well ropey an has been used as a kennel for the last year or so, but i dont mind cos i just want it for bits. Well i want its gearbox. Thing is that my van is a 1.6 N/a smoker an im pretty sure this is a 1.9 watercooled 1(engine looks like its on its side wen you look through the flap). Will the box fit or can it be adapted to fit? i know it wll overgear my old van but im planning to rebuild my box an put it back in later in the year.
Im also gonna rob everythin else that i can off it
Any1 want a stripped van in a week or 2

Yes the box wil fit but you will need to put the 1.6 diesel gearbox bell housing and input shaft on the petrol box.I have run a 1.9 petrol gearbox on a 1.6n and have a 2ltr cu gearbox on my 1.6td.Some people say its over geared but i dont have problems or had with pulling or hills.Recently i towed a large trailer to pick up a devon roof and found no overgearing issues.

im pretty sure this is a 1.9 watercooled 1(engine looks like its on its side wen you look through the flap)

mm a 1.9 watercooled flat four isnt on its side ,its flat

is the van petrol ? could be a straight inline 4 , golf gti or the likes

could be a diesel .. you will have to have a butcher's and pop up some pictures , then we can help tell ya wot injun it is ..
pity i'm away next week t'other wise i'd have pop across and help strip it with you
