Vts Box - What Bits?

Recommended Posts

dcc

Hey Sam

 

Can you clear up what 217515 is? (a photo if you have 1!)

 

As I understand the 217556 are dust protectors essentially to save the bushes as much as possible. I have offered 2 of these posted for £4, but if they're not essential and there's no need for them he could save a bit of ££ here!

 

I do have them fitted to mine though.

Not got service box in front me, but I thought 217556 looked like blanks/stops for the ends of the shaft, so its nylon to nylon and not metal to nylon.

 

As my shaft is new it has open ends, so I'd rather fit them

Ah i see, i've not seen the hollow shafts that require 217556, but then i've never replaced or seen a brand new one - all the ones i've seen are solid.

 

Dan - I've no idea what 217515 is to be honest, on Cit service it is only lsited for BX's up to April '89, which is long before the white bushes arrived and as such they seem unnecessary - it is not listed for any other model and even Peugeot only list them for earlier 205's and 405's. I've attached the Cit diagram below but i've never seen one in person, they are #10 in the diagram.

Item 10 is the bit that pokes into the box from underneath, that the bit inside the box clicks/screws into ? (I think)

Got the bits fitted today, so thanks chaps.

 

Only had one issue lol, i managed to strip one of the three threads that hold the little shaft/seal thing on, but tapped it out to 8mm and all looks well.

 

Cheers

wondering if one of you can help me to help someone else out?

 

Gonna give my spare 1.6 BE3 box to a guy with a 205gti6 who has a 1.9 BE3 box currently on it.

 

I think you folks previously determined that my spare box was set up for "pull" clutch, (possibly to enable use of GTI6 clutch that the box was once married to.) and it has early BE cross shaft type clutch fork, Yellow bushes, longer pull fingers.

 

His his car is a 1990 and i presume the box he has currently is original to the car.

 

As the bushes in the box i'm giving him are yellow, would he need new yellow or white bushes, with his own fork/arm?

(he's gonna replace the clutch/release bearing etc)

Does this look like the correct clutch cable that will take my BE1 pedal to the VTS box (that i've previously put the BE3 clutch gubbings on to?)

 

It was advertised as such, the pedal end looks the same as i've got, but i've never seen what the box end of a BE3 cable looks like.

 

 

Cheers

Hi currently in the middle of this myself and trying to make sense of it, sorry if this is a stupid question, what is the reason for converting the box to push type? I have a be4 vts box which I think hasn't been touched yet and is still pull type
