You got another one? I dont remember seeing that one yet.

I did the engine bay of my sprint this spring, makes it soo much nicer to work on. Though I didnt have the fancy schmancy lift you've got, I had to use steel ramps.

Once you get the cars dialed-in (compression, leaks, bearings, alignment, brakes) swap in new rubber and glass, you've got something which should last for years!

Believe me you don't want the tranny it runs but sloppy check out the goober in the gasket area

Yeah, I saw that orange crap.
Typical of a lousy rebuild.
Someone used some real icky gasket sealer, eh?
No, I still want it.
I'm thinking ring and pinion......................and thinking and thinking..............ring and pinion.......
Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does it have a shift light?
If so, I'm thinking it will have a couple of these that are intact:



Shift up switch in center of photo has the wires sheared completely off.

no sir that switch is for the back up lights....

Well well well...
I finally gotcha.
That is the switch which tells the gear it's in.
Either 3rd or 4th, depending on whether the button is down or up.
There are two of em.
One works to tell if it's in 1st or 2nd.
In the pictures, you can see numbers I, II, and III.
III is the back up switch.
I think number one is the high range (third and fourth gears) and number II should be the low range gears.
When they're all on/off (forget which) you should be in 5th, so no need for the 'upshift light'.






They were pretty clever back in the old days, eh?
My high range is caput. Either I find another old one with wires attached, or fix the one I've got....

Phil:

You can easily fix that sheared wires on that switch. Just use a Dremel with a little carving point and remove material from around the two wires. Then using a soldering iron solder two new wires in. Once you finish, get some JB weld or Marinetex, mix a little and cover completely the top section of the switch and voila you have a repaired switch. Have done this many times with excellent results.

Hope this works. Thanks, luiso16

Thanks luiso16.
I had thought about fixing it just that way, but haven't done it just yet.
Will post the results when I give it a try.
Again, thanks!

Would there happen to be any extra timing covers in your neck of the woods ? Phil says he's got no extra's ?? slick

I really need a cam gear.

A stock stamped steel type from a N/A turbo..?

_________________

Yes, just a stock one.

Is there a timing cover you're interested in parting with ?? Mine has a 5" ratty hole on the bottom where the crank sticks through. I see others don't use a cover . I am concerned the gritty dust in my area will chew up the new seal . What do you think ?

That transmission is sitting in my garage now.
Thanks GV&S

.
It's good to have friends..!!

Well now, between the both of you I think that Phil should have given me the white GT for the wedding present from the both of you.
PS: GVS sure miss the "photo's" if you know what I mean

Ha!
That trans is very helpful for my Turbo Sprint.

I get to clean it up, split the case, and pull out this:


Then I get to do the same for the Turbo Sprint.

When I finally get it all back together, the final drive should be 3.52 or so.

That ought to get me arrested...if they can catch me!

Still would like to see an MK1 around here with a DOHC.

Can't imagine one with a turbo set up...Aussies have all the fun!!!!!!!!!!

.
Hay phil
and the final drive on the late MK1 is ..?? 3.80..??
So how was the syncro's any bits in the bottom of the case..??
