Hi all. It looks like the sr/rb box in my SR ke70 track car is about to let go as it really doesn't like to go into 3rd any more. I have another RB20 box [complete] and am picking up a busted SR box with good housings and hope to mate the two in holy matrimony. I'm trying to build one so i can straight swap it over when i pull the other out.
As far as i can see it looks pretty staight forward but i thought I'd ask incase anyone has done such a swap and knows of any tricks/tips or hassles.
From what i see there is 5 bolts holding the clutch bearing carrier on inside the bell housing and 8 [i think] bolts holding the casings together in the middle of the box that come through from the back and thread into the front half of the casing. From what i've been told i just take the bearing carier out of the front [and possibly a circlip?] and split the box in the middle leaving the gearset and all on the rear housing and just fit the Sr front housing back in place of the RB unit that I remove.
Is it that simple??? sounds too good to be true.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
