can you get away with not touching gearbox front housing to make it easier to swap gearboxes in future if something goes wrong with your current one?

edit: too late, question already asked and answered...

[denmaster]

looks like needs to swap the modded front housing, adaptor and bellhousing across to the new box.

Not enough knock in Al's large knockometer?

[bahaimus]

I guess if he'd bashed on the output shaft of the gearbox hard enough and long enough he might have to got the necessary corresponding 20mm+ movement in the input shaft that was necessary to properly engage the clutch plates and the spigot bearing

Shouldn't have had any detrimental affects on the operation of the gearbox

[stockymcstock]

just machine off the last two cylinders and make it a V10. V10's are awesome.

[tim510]

so the 'gearbox' essentially needs to be 20mm closer to the block? why not machine down the adapter plate, and the bellhousing surfaces?

Hey Clayton.

Mine worked first go.

Doing it wrong. P.s. I polished your rocker covers. I expect beer.

[bahaimus]

There is a six pack of Powers finest Gold brew on ice for you.

Shouldn't you be out oil baronning to pay for your V12 conversion to be finished?

[bpm]

Is it a long or short input t56?

[cracka]

My v12 is nearer and nearer cometion. You seem to e taking vk approach.

I predict this car will see a 13B and a 3RZ in the engine bay before it even gets off the chassis stands.

[myliberty]

Cracka, I think you had a fair headstart and it's not a race.

Until willowbank, then it will be a race.

[JZK25]

It's a 175mm input shaft which seems to be VZ onwards.

It's been sorted anyway, I just asked the guys on the "Running and driving Toyota V12's with T56's" forum and they told me what part to get from Aldi.

[bpm]

If it is the short shaft and you need 20mm, the long one would be just about perfect

[lickmyleftone]

My v12 is nearer and nearer cometion. You seem to e taking vk approach.

Hurry up and get a mortgage and a couple of kids kunt. Then see how quick car shit happens.
