RE: Calling gearbox identification specialists :)

[Terry Rudd]

I've had another look at the pics of that box, funny how you see things that you missed the first time round. The shifter doesn't tell me that it's not an FJ box, what does though is the switches on the drivers side. It has all 3 switches with connectors attached - i.e. neutral, top gear and reverse lights. Now most engines with EFI and therefore an ECU, don't have top gear and neutral switches as these are used to control advance on a manual dizzy and they are (I wont say only) nearly always only required with a carbie engine, and certainly they aren't used on a FJt. Also the clutch and flywheel doesn't look like any FJt items that I've ever seen, but I wont say that I know for sure what it's off though.   What's the diameter of the clutch plate? There could be a few clues there?   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Heath Sent: Saturday, 7 September 2002 10:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Calling gearbox identification specialists :) by the shifter pics, to me it's looks like a stumpy skyline box, but when you seen the complete box it looks like a CA20 5sp. these are only guesses though it's definetly not a CA18det box, doesn't have the large rectangle shifter.   Heath ----- Original Message ----- From: dceptn To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 9:49 AM Subject: Calling gearbox identification specialists :) G'day,   Ive been search for an FJ20ET gearbox for awhile, and i came across one for sale in the local classified paper, and naturally i rang up, talked to the guy, he seemed decent told me abit bout the history; it was recently used on a CA18DET but never ran due to an unfinished project, and before that it was at the wreckors from a S12 Silvia. It sounded all good, i made the purchase and went off.   It came with a clutch and flywheel. As soon as i get home, i took the flywheel, and attempted to fit it onto my fj20 block. It wouldn't fit on at all. The holes were slightly smaller then the standard FJ20 flywheel bolts, and also, the holes do not align perfectly. At this point im thinking, have i been mislead? Or are there different sized flywheels for different FJ20's. Eg. my engine is a skyline one, and this flywheel from a silvia version. So much, to my confusion ive taken some pics and hopefully some gearbox guru can put a possitive identification on this box i've just bought.   Any help will be appreciated greatly.   Jarrod :|   Pics at: http://dceptn.orcon.net.nz/gearbox/ --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
