[Garbe]

Ithought that was cheap until I realised that was with the box out of the car - but still not a bad price

[snowtigger]

Just for reference everyone, if you want to extend the ratios on the E153 gearbox, you can use the ST165 final drive ratio. This will increase each gear by 9%. Means you can hit 60 without bouncin the rev limiter in 2nd, and in 5th gear 163mph @ rev limiter becomes 177.6mph

Part numbers if you're interested in doing this are:

3.933 Shaft, Output 33321-20120
3.933 Gear, Ring 41221-12240
3.933 Gear, Oil Pump 33407-12011

I think the parts come to around ?320 - then of course it's fitting on top.
:)

These part nos apply to ST185 as well as ST165 boxes. I have just dismantled a 185 box and checked on the parts catalogue. The ring gear is 59teeth and output gear 15teeth.
I was quoted 33321-20120 £146.66+vat
41221-12240 £125.89+vat
33407-12011 £63.63 +vat
So well worth picking up an old 165/185 box

Just picked up an st165 box for £100 is this do-able at home or should i let a gearbox place do it?

Johnny recently contacted me to see what price I could get the E153 'box bits for - here's the answer :)

The parts are available (backup quantity on two of them) and if I were to order today (Friday) they'd arrive on Wednesday next week.

Prices are as follows;

3.933 Shaft, Output 33321-20120
Retail Price = £176.88,
Uber discount price = £146.88

3.933 Gear, Ring 41221-12240
Retail Price = £155.69
Uber discount price = £125.69

3.933 Gear, Oil Pump 33407-12011
Retail Price = £80.44
Uber discount price = £65.44

Managed to get a tasty £75 knocked off the total price for ya think you'll find that shits all over the measly 10% trade discount Mr T's parts monkeys usually grant enthusiasts!

Bear in mind these prices are PRE-VAT and any post and packaging costs will have to be covered by yourself. I'll happily arrange getting stuff posted if it's to go via Royal Fail. If specialist couriers need to be organised then that's for you to arrange but I'll ensure the full co-operation of the department.

Give me a call if you want to order (or just tell rude jokes) 0131 621 8236 (ask for Colin).

To sum up -
Total RRP Inc VAT = £474.96
MT's TwoBrutal Price Inc VAT = £388.72 & P+P

Parts are returnable but must be done within 15 days of ordering I'm afraid. Please think about doing this before picking up the phone :)

Me too - I think 3.6 will be spot on for the road with this many torques. I've already upped the limit on all of my cards lol

Will check price and availability for those part numbers in the morning ST...or the afternoon if I'm caught up with stuff (on my own in the department this week.)
