V6 Type 5 gearbox differences
Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2020 10:02 pm
long time no speak, hope everyone's good!
Straight in with the problem! Ha
Beginning of the year my dad got himself a 3000gxl it was winter so it got recovered straight home and not driven until it
Dried up a little outside, previous chap who owned it said he had had the gearbox rebuilt.. but the clutch haddent been replaced?! Anyway, so I'm in the middle of putting a clutch in it and looks like the input shafts been replaced. But the gearbox is horrible, sloppy and worn out.
Anyway I've got another type 5 from a 2.8, now obviously the bellhousing is different but i always thought the input shafts are the same (because the clutch is the same kit), isnt it the 4pots that have a shorter input shaft?
Anyway without thinking or checking that I've spent hours tonight trying to get it to fit. Not a chance, needs to close up another half inch.
I've checked the 2 shafts and the 3.0 one is a inch shorter than the 2.8 one.
Is this correct, does anyone have any measurements of a 3.0 type 5 that hasn't been messed around with?
Thanks in advance!
