:idea: :twisted: Whilst I know that the 4 cylinder engines dont match up with the 5 cylinder gasser bell housing; does anyone know if I go back to the gearbox interface would the 4 cylinder bell housing mate up there?
What needs to be invented/ written is a book of profiles of interfaces. these could then be traced or scanned for matches/near matches for easy DIY frankensteins...
Cheers

Looking at the pictures of inline gearboxes I've just realised that the bell housing includes the diff.
:twisted: Not to be deterred the most important part of the 5 ganger is the gear box with the 0.51 to 1 fifth gear. so the profile I need to match up is the middle interface. Why I didnt check this 10 years ago when I had the two setups side by side I'll never know :cry:
Why am I asking? Wellover hear in Limey land the last of the production of Quantums were all 5 cylinder gassers and I'm looking for a 'new' body (aren't we all :wink: ) for my 1.6TD and I didnt want to rip everything out (just most things it appears) :?
A 0.51:1 fifth? Wow! I wonder if one of those would fit into an A1 gearbox?
:twisted: the type 093 gearboxes codesVW or 2V had the 0.53 5th ratio...
and later ones had 0.56
final drives were 4.9 and 4.7 respectively.
But would the 5th gear pair drop into the 4 ganger box with a 4.11 final drive?
