Cerb Gearbox?

[julian64]

Anyone enlighten me on the placing of the gearlever on the T5 for the Cerb. It seems there might be two different types, one with the gearchange forward and the next with it back along the tail of the casting with an extension rod. Anyone know more detail on where the gearchange should be for the Cerb.

Julian.Can i ask a question?.But are you dismantling your car?Or are you just building up technical knowledge for future reference?.

It goes straight into the box on the back. its very similar to the box that is found in a Sierra Cossie, but the casting on the back is shorter, so the overall length is reduced. You might get the dimensions off the Tremec site, its around 2" shorter than a TKO 600 if not.

This gearbox is not like mine. On mine the gearchange level is further back. Not lifted my current Cerb to see if its the same or not.

The Cerb and Tuscan are at the back and the Saggy at the front of the tailhousing from memory.

Copy and paste that link.

That is a Saggy box I think.

Cerbs gear lever is rgith at the back

Rover V8 ones are between the 2.

This is a RV8 one I think.

This is the paragraph that got me paranoid. I take it this is rubbish under the section about Cerbera V8's

Yep, all Cerbs are right at the back.

This'll give you an idea of Cerb positioning.

Great photo thanks. The gear level gaitor on mine was burnt in the fire. This then melted and fell down the lever to settle in the detent plate below. This effectively froze the gear level in place, and the water that sat in the exposed trough when the thing was left in the insurance yard for a month did the rest. Inside the gearbox was protected by the gearbox oil. Thank god no-one drained it.
