Compatible bearboxes

Post by glasgowjim » Wed Oct 08, 2008 10:53 pm

Will a gearbox from a 1994 2ltr 480 fit a 1992 1.7 ltr 480?

Isn't the clutch diameter different between a B18Esomething and a B20F?

It might probably possible to convert the one clutch to the other.

The splines on the input shaft on all the various gearboxes are the same so should be fine.
