Around 35KG off the top of my head? I may be wrong though..

 

[DannyR]

^ around that yea

 

[stan*]

37/38kg last time I weighed one.

 

[activ]

Just popped one on the scales 33kg.

Just popped one on the scales 33kg.

with or without fluids? ...another 3kg maybs

 

[activ]

Without fluids.
No one asked for the Weight of the fluids.:sleepy:

 

[stan*]

with or without mount lol

 

[Dangerous_dave]

Without fluids.
No one asked for the Weight of the fluids.:sleepy:

i know this.... i too can read. my point was as fluids are an integral part of a gearbox you wold assume when asking for the wight of a gearbox, you would want to know what a gearbox with fluids would weigh.
Where as if you were actually weighing a gearbox i.e out of a car, chances are it wouldnt have fluid in....

So... something to consider if you want a more accurate weight figure.


which i expect is why people are quoting figures between 33 - 38kg.........

not really, as when they are out of the car they are inherently empty of oil...

if someone asked for the weight of an engine, I would assume WITHOUT fluids..

 

[Dangerous_dave]

key word being ...

they not sealed units as such or something?

 

[stan*]

gearboxes arent sealed, no.

 

[activ]

with or without mount lol

No mount no fluid .

It has some black oily residue on the outside you might like to take into account.

Can tell you that the one I built up and am now running is 4kg heavier.

Quaife diff !

 

[The_Pirate]

should i drain the box before sending???

 

[Dangerous_dave]

 

[nathanH]

That would be a good idea, yes...

should i drain the box before sending???

 

[Budgie]

should i drain the box before sending???

Lol. Quick way to drain is pull the drive shafts out.

The cleaner way, gearbox sump plug.

 

[iimushroomzii]

should i drain the box before sending???

It'll drain itself as soon as you pull the driveshafts out :approve:

 

[The_Pirate]
