execman Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Hi, can someone confirm if this is a 1.8 gearbox please as I want to confirm before bidding/buying: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226082159661?itmmeta=01HV9A4SPZMSYGHQG4XPE2N7RW&hash=item34a38bfc2d:g:GjwAAOSwM5tmE7b5&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4PktnjQNYLNCsrjvkHp%2BOYErq3shKmIG74uDOeLASZtmjeBGzhX4gw6rAJBUczO4Xnz4WXQjoFNNSceMENnB40PbAFCV9YLYnZcVqjYbe44YmZ7gG56sqPmF94P9m64R4CcyIV1HbPxWL4eXmcm%2BJvVoH%2F3%2BIFDj%2BdibVlqvJYr1GNqsC1UrrX7o%2Bw%2BTZqVvZp0ejQ6XdP8zN39WUtAsU%2Fw4V%2FBMtW0gZQIdZgPSD0%2BEHzJuSeBjw6eR8COLxhLOJmdjNyYKK6x3mn0HbPkKxATORhj1q5Jc1LUXcds1fZD7|tkp%3ABk9SR8abk6raYw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Certainly looks like it to me, bulge for the starter on the off side is the giveaway. Gearlever remote looks like a homebrew job but should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it’s been cut the proportions look to be the same as the original part so it may work fine as it is 🤞. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I ended up with a spare one for my 4 to 5-speed conversion. Let me know if you get the 'box and I'll find out what I paid for the gear linkage stuff.

execman Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 I’ve decided to not buying this box as a/ its noisy, and b/ its in Sheffield, with no postage option, and I’m in London. so its not cost effective considering it will need overhauling.
