Had the gear box out today to change the clutch on my Doka (2.1dj) it went quite well apart from I seem to have a bit left and I dont know where it is from. Any help will be very much appreciated....





It was on the drive so cant be sure if it is from this van but quite sure it might be

Parts of one of the front gearbox mounts is my guess

Look very much like the parts that fell on the floor under the syncro we dropped a box out of last night....

that's not anything I've seen before and I have broken a couple of 2.1 syncro vans down to their constituent parts, it's probably some bit of tat from a house job you did that slipped under the engine lid and was sat ontop of engine bellhousing and just fell out when you dropped the box - it looks like part of a moulineux

Nice one mate, I was hoping you would see this

Looks like the bottom of a pint of beer to me. Hard to tell in the second picture thought as a finger is obscuring it.

I have totally reassembled the gear box, linkage, clutch, engine etc and it turns out whoever had the gearbox out last used this bit of metal as one of the big washers on the front mount of the gearbox. It must have been on top because if it was underneath the gearbox would have been slightly out. Soooooo glad you dont have to change a clutch on a Syncro to often as their is some work changing it alright. Like most jobs It looks to be easier on a Diesel

Thanks for all your input

I've got loads of the mounts, nylon bits, rubber bits, bolts, washers if you need anything for VF let me know, I should be going to the lockup tommorow

I will have a big washer if you remember

Thought that's what it had to be, ending up on your drive, a bodgy bit, that doesn't really fit

Bet things will be even smoother from now on
