T5 gearbox question/Cerbera-Chimaera

[flyingdutchie]

Does anyone know if a T5 from a Cerbera 1997 wil fit into a Chimaera 1994 LHD. I do not think LHD/rhd matters.

The change-over from LT77 to T5 took place early 94.

If you already have a T5, then yes, but you may need to swop current Chim T5 linkage?

If it has an LT77, then bell housing and mountings need changing, plus clutch and slave linkage??

A TVR T5 is a T5 across models, but different Models used slightly different gear linkages - there are some close-ratio versions as well - they will fit, but gearing will be quite different, particularly 5th will be "lower" (more revs for same speed.)

HTHs ?

do the chimaera and the chim have the same gearlever position on the tail shaft ? IIRC there are about 3 positions available
