vauxsenb Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 It may help to specify which model/age/reg. No./c.c. of Manta this is for, and which engine is fitted CIH/OHC. These box's can be hard to find since everyone and their dog raped (and then scrapped) perfectly good Manta's just for the box as was the craze back in the day. happy hunting!!!

spiney_norman Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 If the starter's on the O/S then it'll be an OHC box he's looking for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 2.0 cih gearboxes have same internals if you fancy getting your hands dirty and saving some money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
399Road Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 2.0 cih gearboxes have same internals if you fancy getting your hands dirty and saving some money! I've swapped these over before and it's not too difficult... The only tricky bit is lining all three of the selector rails back up with the front section of the casing as you slide it all back together. There are three plugs in the casing that you can knock out to make this easier, just don't forget to refit them. Oh, and the big circlip around the Input shaft of the box is a bit fierce when it twangs off ! I'll ever buy another expensive 1800 box again... Luke.

hedcase Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I know where there is a 1.8 gearbox sitting in a garage. But it's in west wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
