How to convert a Mk2 Turbo Gearbox (E153) to FWD

[Paul Woods]

Just thought i'd add...



This metal disc we used to blank off the oil seal hole cost us 10p :)

I bet I get billed for that 10p :rlol:

Steve the transfer case is here so i will be seeing what 2gr clearance is like, but looking at it i'd be amazed if it worked.

Yeah, the 2GR is a long shot, but worth a try, the 1MZ is the one under serious concideration.

Is that a core plug you're using for the blanking?

@ Paul - adam is going to post up the cv joints to you at the weekend.

I will let you think about that line, for legal reasons i cannot say more , but the metal disc we used had a smiley face on it which we ground off :)

PMSL

It is obvious when you put it like that.

HA! Love it.

LOL the penny's dropped.... or rather the 10p has :)

Just to throw my 10p's worth in here - this is very similar to what I did when I fitted the 4-age to my mini. I used the selectors from a Carina E gearbox to convert the c52 to FWD. I also used the Carina starter motor and mounted it at the back of the engine .
