Gearbox mating Problem

[stuntman]

Hello again MC'ers

Right I'm trying to mate my 200tdi from my J plate disco to a gearbox in another J plate 200tdi disco.

Are there any differences with any of the models at all? I know the J plate was a year that some parts need chassi numbers for etc, is the clutch one of them?

I'm thinking that possibly a bush in the flywheel maybe different, the engine goes together and when you turn the crank on the bottom pully it tries to move the car when it's in gear.

I feel that either the input shaft is longer or the recess in the flywheel isn't deep enough, or the housing on the engine or gearbox isn't 'long enough to close the gap?

Anyone else experienced this?

Regards

Andi

Both vehicles will have the same spec gearboxes (LT77) of they are both standard.

I'm not really sure what you're actually after here.... personally I'd be a bit worried if the car didn't move when I turned the engine over with it in gear...?

What exactly is wrong?

I'm not sure either, but i did have a thought!, have you had the clutch out?, and if so have you refitted the friction plate the wrong way round, IE fly wheel side out??
