I don't mind the rod change boxes, except for the lack of engine stabilisation. But if I were to rebuild a box, I'd rebuild the original remote box from the motor, that's what it's meant to have. Rod box went in because the remote box was completely stuffed...

yeah i know, but I wasn't up for a gearbox rebuild at the time, was more interested in just having a car. Why is it that I am forced to continually take the easy option to fix my car simply so I can be mobile ??

Try this link from Minimani in the states. Probably more useful for ones that haven't broken yet but worth a look anyway

That kit looks like the gear I need. However, it is not available locally and I think ordering it from O/S would take too long. At this point in time I think I will get another lower bracket off a parts car, and put a couple of bolts through to hold in on with some big flat washers to spread the load. Will probably be better than the original spot welds :)

I will also look in to adding some lower engine stabiliser bars. They are a bit costly but I may have to bite the bullet if I want to avoid this problem in the future.

Anto, I would just clean it all up and take it to someone who is real handy with a MIG. Find a good muffler shop... :wink:
