CJRH Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi, I’ve got a lovely shiny re-built series 3 gear box waiting to go in (thanks Les). Question: It has no clutch fork, can I use the one from the 2a box? Slave cylinder, again can I use the one from the 2a box? Gear stick, 4 wheel drive and high low levers re-use? The 200tdi engine and the series 3 gearbox have no locating studs, as above can I re-use from the 2a gearbox? With the 200tdi engine, am I right in I need series pressure plate and clutch? Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 It has no clutch fork, can I use the one from the 2a box? No. Slave cylinder, again can I use the one from the 2a box? No the mounting flange is in the wrong place Gear stick, 4 wheel drive and high low levers re-use? Yes. The 200tdi engine and the series 3 gearbox have no locating studs, as above can I re-use from the 2a gearbox? Do you mean the studs that fix the engine to the gearbox? if so then no as the 200Tdi has M10 threads and the old 2a engine will be 3/8"UNC threads. With the 200tdi engine, am I right in I need series pressure plate and clutch? You need the clutch that matches the gearbox bellhousing.

CJRH Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thanks for that Phil. Locating studs / pegs, there are some blind holes in the bell housing face and the flywheel cover face, should there be solid pegs / studs to help locate the two together? Hope I've explained that a bit better now! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Series have no dowels in the engine to box joint, so dont worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Having done this it also doesnt hurt to run a 10mm drill through the bolt holes in the series bellhousing as the holes in it are 3/8" IIRC. It will go on but it makes fitting an absolute piggy if you dont! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJRH Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Thanks for the info, what's the likely hood of picking up the clutch arm / slave cylinder at Newbury this weekend or should I just buy new? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
