    Posted: 02 Mar 11 at 00:26
here 's a few pics of my lastest fiddleing with my van
 
 
 
 
 
i am still walking funny after visiting merlin motorsport to buy the samco hoses !!
 
 
 
 
 
the gearbox has been lots of work to fit in not something to do at home on the drive
its not quite finished yet as i have to fit an oil cooler and mess about with the reverse gate
but the test drive on sunday night put a smile on my face  !!

looks like it bolts up direct to the 5cyl ???
i know the 996 c2 box is not far off bolting direct to the 5cyl/v6/v8 bellhousing pattern..
 
so are you not going to tell what it is??
 
if its a direct fit im interested as my only other option to use on my audi v6 is the 996 box 
bar the aap and sa bell housing.

Looks like the bell housing has been cut off about 70mm from the end, flipped 180 degrees and welded back together.

Is that the breather blanked of with a tube and jubilee clip? if so I take it you have put one in the top as you will end up blowing the input shaft sea outl if you have not

yes that was the breather on the top of the box but now on the bottom 
the drain bug has been drilled and now has a vent fitted in it
 i am going to use that blocked off pipe when i fit my oil cooler in the next few weeks

most of the gears are splash fed anyway  so should not need to move oil round the
box differently
 
i will run it as is at the moment  if it  die's i will just get another box then modify  it
these box's are dead cheap  less than £100 and theres loads of them about

Interesting quote here :

"A nice idea but going on the other things I've seen produced by the same outfit, I don't expect that these issues will have been looked at."

Nice one SyncroGhia !!Clap


They also need putting straight about how many miles that engine carrier has already done without problems !!!
