New gearbox dont fit
Discussion
Need some thoughts please.....
I had my gearbox rebuilt by John Reid at Readman racing but have some problems.
He suggested a new tail on the box that would do away eith the crazy old gearstick linkage and allow for a direct gearstick. Good idea i thought but it does nees a little work to fit a stick offset to the right. Not a big problem. See here....
The bigger problem is the rear mounting set up is completely different and would need some design and fabrication of a new mount....
So do i persevere and get a new mount made or just take the box back to have the old tail refitted?

Get the old one fitted save you a load of head aches
Yeah i think that would be the easy route.Been one of those days. Went to take the wheelie bin out this morning and as it fell off the step fell into the tail light of the Mazda putting a neat little hole in it! Then realised i had just missed the bin men by 5 minutes! Then a trip to the hospital didnt tell me anything i didnt already know and now i have a scan to look forward to. Time to call it a day and have a beer i think
