so i have a crack in my gearbox. its aluminium, it needs welding.
the crack is in the centre of a bearing housing for one of the main shafts, its not very long.
does it need to be stripped before being welded or can i risk it?
also anyone know anyone in the swansea area with an ac tig welder?
ive been assured it an 02m by scoff but im not 100% sure tbh. he said as long as it has 6 gears and the inspection hole then its an 02M.
me personally, im not convinced but the clutch slave has been spaced out (successfully i think) so shouldnt cause an issue.
issue i have now is the casing is...
Lol it's a lot of hassle tbh.
but it's in it's infancy so the more people do it the more info will be available making it easier for the solo guy like me to do it :)
George, has your flywheel been put on yet?
if not im wondering if i could ask a favour which will only require a moment of time and an accurate tape measure...
got any pictures of how youve mounted the master cylinder?
also in your line from the master to the slave did you have a circular bit that the fluid goes in and out of inline?
you clutch moves a lot smother and faster then mine
ive just spaced my slave out about 6mm and now it looks similar to...
Couple of questions... Allan-
does your our crank pulley move in And out like your flywheel? Because if it does, it leads me to my next question, did you put the thrust washers in your engine? Lol silly one I know but I can't see a billet flywheel being bent out Of shape like that.

No in the joint. If you pull them apart they can disengage and not turn properly. A wiggle and a push normally sorts it but if your all bolted up it's difficult to get it in there
That seems the only issue. Seems a tad extreme to design a whole new engine just to better mpg. I mean the current engine is full of tech that can be adjusted to get better mpg. Just doesn't make sense, but who am I to question!?
im not sure mate, I have a feeling they may put the new engine in...
Im 100% right on the 2.0 I just googled and found some pictures lol. The 1.6 must be different then.
if you google 2.0 ecoboost it's a few links down. It's being replaced by another 2.0 but it will be a new engine.
cant work it out personally
