How far is that from penrith haha? Probably easier just paying the 40 ay?

Yeah Brookvale is fking miles away. Northern beaches lol

haha jesus.
I'm looking forward to doing the conversion.
How much would my gearbox be worth with all the bits that come out with it?

Hmm they don't come with the flywheel?
Penrith brake and clutch quoted me 394 without flywheel...440 with lol
does that sound right? On the phone to auto one now and he is pulling price up he quoted 382 without a flywheel. I thought it came with one haha or do i just use the one that i got out of escapingfates fto. (It's funny cause he escaped fate)

You should be using the flywheel from the donor car. Just have it machined.

thanks mate.

Are you doing the conversion yourself or getting a mechanic to take care of it?

I'm hoping i can do it. Why? Want to help me?

I can possibly lend a hand depending on when you do it.

Could of tips:
* Grab a pair of the drive shaft seals for the new box.
* Replace the gearbox side, engine main seal while you are there.
* Replace the input shaft seal on the gearbox.
* Make sure you grease the shaft the clutch bearing slides on and the points on the clutch release fork.
* Get the clutch and flywheel balanced together (will reduce vibrations)

Removing / replacing the gearbox is a fair amount of effort and not something you will want to do again if you can avoid it. While the seals may not be leaking now, they are cheap enough to replace and saves you a lot of headache.

Ok thanks,
I'll be doing it in about a month if you are interested.
Me and my dad would love the help.
