weirdo.

well tomorrow night I'm gonna fix the bush in the linkage if the world isn't still flooding up here and then take it for a proper run out. slightly miffed that the box crunches after a good few hours work, not really what you want to hear at the end of the job. luckily it came with a guarantee of sorts. need to text my mate the bad news and start looking for gearbox number 7.

2nd gear synchro in this box is crunchy, 3rd is fine. May try adjusting clutch a touch but it's not going to help. Damn f28s.

What could your next move be gearbox wise apart from an F28?

Nothing really. Need to look at how to make it 4x4 so keeping f28 would be easiest option.

Looks the likely outcome yeah.

Had a nice fuel leak tonight. Sorted it now. Linkage feels good just a shame about 2nd gear.

failed linkage bush



brand new second hand linkage bush. all gears working nicely again. hopefully sort it out with rose joints at some point instead to make it work better.

Nic although a bit more pricey why not buy something like evo4 running gear and run a spacer plate inbetween block and box and possibly a custom fly. Much stronger then the Vaux transfer box.

Also Celica GT4 stuff is supposed to be pretty strong too

It's the expense tbh, that's all that puts me off. Vaux stuff will be simple.

Depends really. Need to see what goes wrong on the transfer box and if/how can make it stronger.

Some bloke ran over 500 on his or something before making it rwd? Just doing it for fun like the rest of the car really. Will be able to strengthen a transfer box up I'd imagine as from what I gather that's the weak part. It's only a thought, not really sure I can be arsed to waste more cash, will see. May just turn the poke down.
