Anyone fitted an upgraded gear kit to a type 9 before? I think I have a strip down and rebuild guide for a T9 somewhere....

I have got all the relevant tools, and access to more if needed, so getting it apart isnt a problem.

My gearbox is not in the best condition, and I would really like a useable 1st gear so would like to fit the HD E2 gearkit which BGH sell, but can't afford the price of an exchange box!

The other question, anyone got a good T9 laying about?

Cheers,
David

HI

I have sent U a U2U.

Have you thought about fitting a box from a 2.8 Xr4i sierra - higher first gear and long input shaft? - you will need to either mod the input shaft (wince ) or fit a spacer between the box and bell housing from caterham.

I used one in my pinto indy and it worked well.

I would also be interested in knowing about fitting gear-kits to a type 9 - I have a spare box to play with (ooer!), but I understand that it can be quite a 'challenge' get everything back in and working properly.

...but I don't mind a challenge!

Anyone more organised than me able to scan/copy the T9 rebuild guide from Kit Car magazine March and April 2007, please?

Cheers,

HI

Spotted this LINK On the WSCC earlier don't know if its of any use apparently 23 pages on the type 9 rebuild etc.

Cheers Matt

Thanks Matt!

Just what I need

Nearly finished fitting my gearkit now, its not too bad. Just requires a few special tools and some patience!

I'll grab some piccies in the week if I can.
