gearbox weight?

[paul-11turbo]

How heavy is the gtturbo/11 turbo gearbox?

Gonna upgrade my clutch and wondering if i will need someone to help.

im not sure of the weight, but i have managed to chance a clutch by myself, must admit was bit awkward but can be done

The box is light enough to lift on your own. Personally i would lift the engine out leaving the box in the car for a clutch swap.

It's not a deal breaker. I dead lifted the engine out ( craned it back in ). Box is much lighter.

I'd say just short of a sack of spuds which are 25kg

As brigsy said it's a one man job, when I've helped mark we have it out in no time, but box stays in situ, a year ago I put my rebuilt lump in with a light hand from a friend and a jack

I am also upgrading my clutch soon , i was gonna take the whole lot out to change the clutch .... is it easier to do leaving the gearbox in then ???

[Brigsy]

Yep leave the box in, no messing about taking driveshafts out & refilling the gearbox oil:)

[ranj]

ok mate , will do that ... will make it quicker hopefully putting it all back in :) , i wasnt sure if there would be enough room and how hard it will be aligining the gearbox to the clutch.

It mates up fine. If you have any stick put a 21mm socket on the end of the bottom pully and twist gently. Should go together well


< cheers Briggsy for the sms advice :) )
