Tell me about it was meant to be at a track night tonight and racing on sunday, thats been over a month my box has been away and only found out about the crack last week.
Nope he said they weren't interchangeable :(
The car the box came out of was a 2003 172 cup but don't know if that was the original box to that car or if its a bitza box.
Ok just for future ref after talking to Agency transmission who i now wish I had used :( , there are a few different outer casing bearing configurations.
1 . Main shaft - taper bearing
Layshaft - ball race held in with a cir clip
2. Main shaft -taper bearing
Layshaft - taper...
Im having a nightmare with CTS and the rebuild of my cup gearbox.
The outer casing is/got cracked and was picked up during the rebuild , this has been welded and cracked again so got some spare casings from Northloop :up:
I have just had a msg from cts saying
The casings that have been...
New gearbox casings are now on the way to CTS thanks to Northloop (Mark) .
Today i received my last fg panel in a new tailgate from Chris at CMC, so now have his doors ,tailgate and roof scoop , so hope to get that dropped off for paint at the start of the week along with a centre console for...
Well casing was welded but cracked again during reassembley.
Anyone near Hertfordshire have a some JC5 129 casings or a cheap box.
CTS are going to get a price for new casings but expect ££££ for that.
I don't even know what section of casing it is yet to so not sure if it has to be a 129 or if...
Sounds very similar to what recently happened to my gripper diff , car sat for a couple of months , I gave the box and oil change and on a quick test run it was really bad to the point the car was almost stopping.
My box has been at CTS for the last 4 weeks getting rebuilt but they couldn't...
Home in a week and had the plan of getting the box back in the car, alignment,weight and power run done asap, to hopefully get a track day in before entering a SLS race but not sure if plans are going ot work out.
After CTS having the box for 3.5 weeks, having it stripped for over 2.5 they were...
Yip use to have a V8 manual, was a nice car but lacked excitement in a way. I think the V10 would be a different ball game, as it would then have the power to match the chassis.
Cant watch the video as youtube is blocked at work :(
Will agree with Leeds_182 the clunk on the open gate change use to do my head in , specially when just driving about town.
From what I have seen they do sound to be fairly hard rollers , the black phase 1 with cat cams and bodies only made 159atw.
I will be running my car there next month so be good to see how they compare to the other rollers it's been on.
Thanks a lot I will get CTS to fit a 33/37 5th and get my originals back as spares.
When I get back to the UK I will have 1.5 weeks to get ready for my first event, really looking forward to it . New suspension is fitted so need to re fit the box, get alignment, then get an official power run...
Justnow the car pulls through the gears with no real drop off in power but on the change to 5th , there is a noticeable drop of. By changing to a lower ratio 5th I could change up into 5th earlier on the two faster parts of the track.
This then adds in an extra gearchange and with the pure...
Hi Morgan my box has the lower 4.615 gripper FD fitted. I found the car faster out of corners with the lower FD , the only problem is im now hitting the limiter just before the breaking point heading up the straight and towards the hairpin in 4th.
With the big drop in revs between 4th and 5th...
Thanks glad it helped you pass a bit of time :smile:
I have done a few quick calcs before raising the rev limiter from 7500 to 7800 or changing the 5th gear ratio to be more useable.
On the gearing i'm on jut now upping the limiter only would mean the top end of 4th would be 109 mph up 3mph ...
Nope Craig I'm back in Malaysia with work , and the car is sitting without a gearbox I'm hoping to get out to the May 24th round. Will be a busy week when I get home getting the car back together and tested.
