How much does a W58 weight?

[eddie6943]

As the title says...

I'm trying to remove my g/b and don't really want to go underneath the car to support it if it weighs too much.
i don't really like the thought of a gearbox squahing me.

i wouldn't drop one on my chest mate, use a jack.

[70XIN]

it wont squash you

i weigh quite a few less than 60kg and would be considered "small", i can drop it on myself without hurting

W58 itself weighs bugger all much more than a T50

[eddie6943]

sweet... thanx guys... ive managed to take it off with a hydraulic jack...

the next problem is the fly wheel bolts
tried taking it them off but they won.
wil try again tomorrow

[Gunner]

i would of thought they'd be pretty hefty, ahwell, i'd use a jack but I'm lazy

[Patto]

35 kgs

[eddie6943]

35 kgs is what i found on the net but i think it alot heavier than that

[Sherlock]

Would the 35 be taking into account all the oils n such? They'd add a bit of weight...

dry weight is 36 kilo from memory, thats with bellhousing, clutch fork and throwout bearing from memory

this is not what i was told this is what me and clemo55 weighed it to be

[riojin]

and what does a T50 weight? the only real reason why i havent changed over to a W series box is because i heard they way a fir bit more than a T50.

if its only a few kg more than i may aswell buy a W55 instead of rebuilding my T50

i learned the hard way... luckily not much oil came out then proceeded to actually drain the box instead of wreaking of gear box oil

[anastasios]

thats a pretty crap reason if you havent changed over the boxes, if your going to rebuild a t50 its obviously time for a w box

i didnt break the T50. it was broken when i got the car. just 2 and 3 syncros
