be1 lift for reverse

Recommended Posts

Morning

 

can anyone explain how/what changes i need to make to use lift reverse for a be1 1.6 gearbox,

 

i am fitting a gti6 engine into my 205 , and cant get hold of a vts gearbox so i thought next best option would be a be1 1.6 gear box ,

only other boxes i have are for diesel engines.

 

however the original engine was a 1.9 diesel so i dont have lift reverse set up , 

 

is it a simple job to change to lift reverse ?

 

Its not going to be a daily driving so no motorway trips - she will be doing rallycross eventually.

you need the cable and the sleeve and collar from the gearstick.

 

Also needs to be a late enough casing to have the crank sensor boss and hole in the top though!

 

also a Bx 16v (1.9 mi16 clutch)     the holes I think would be present also to swap the BE3 clutch arm from the Diesel box and use a post 1990 cable, the original diesel one will work.

Hi Stuart - a bit off topic sorry, but if you happen to have any diesel boxes you're breaking then I'd be interested in a 0.76 or 0.81 fifth gear set if want to sell.

Cool - let me know if you want to sell the fifth gear cogs separately (assuming they're either of the ratios above).

 

Just need those two cogs, not the box.

 

Thanks
