Velocita Rosso Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Quoted from Royboy66 Diff & Gbox fluids. Checked/topped up. You can tell the GT hardly comes out of the garage......no oil leaks on the drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggrr1 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Nope that is because Roy never stays in one place long enough to leave a mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrapman Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 You have still got time to buy another car on Ebay..Can you revert back to the original box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Keys Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Well, i got my new torque convertor. But sadly, the gearbox got away from me off the stand and hit the floor. Bellhousing now bust and no spare!!!!So i need an auto bellhousing, but ive no idea if its a 35 or 65, I cant identify it from the gearbox, because its a ZF.Help!!. Anyone have a bellhousing spare? Im near Milton keynes.Not sure if the torque convertor has survived, but i cant know that unless i get it back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggrr1 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Quoted from thescrapman You have still got time to buy another car on Ebay..Can you revert back to the original box? I very much doubt the original box would last the run and I know I'm a bit daft but even I'm not daft enough to buy a car off ebay and do the 10CR.I have not given up yet, just a little hacked off at the moment.

It's not my gearbox that is busted,I mistakenly thought it would be an easy job to shoehorn a dolly sprint gearbox into a GT6 🙁 [Sorry, link no longer available] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don cook1 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Head re-torqued and tappets done, brakes bled, clutch master cylinder replaced, wipers broke on Weds 100 miles from home...in the rain (cable snapped) and replacement arrived from Canley's so that's fixed (now with full sweep), electric rad fan broke so reverted to original, oil and filter changed and all engine bolts/studs checked, front wheel bearings adjusted.Just a parcel shelf left to fit and spare wheel to be pumped up.

Im near Milton keynes.Not sure if the torque convertor has survived, but i cant know that unless i get it back together. RogerJonathan Fallowell who is up at Coventry area has a couple of boxes he is trying to shift, there is an advert somewhere on the forum. Someone did ask, but i am sure a deal could be done for the bellhousing off one of them as it is kinda urgent.I have a type65 out back that has sat for too long so is probably no good as a gearbox anymore, but bellhousing is all there. Was on a Dolomite though, not sure if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
