Anyone know if you can fit the r5 box to the 172 engine while keeping the 215mm flywheel?

yes you can very tight. a sight bit of grining and playing with the dowel for the starter motor.
I have the 215mm fly b18ft mated to a 5 gearbox, There is a dowel that you must remove from the box its below the starter.

I mated a valver to a 5 box before and remember I had to move a dowel bit have no idea what size fly wheels that was. Cheers for the info peeps
Been a while since I've played pikey, whatsthe stronger box? 5gtt or 172? Tho I've killed lots of 172 boxes so that probably answers that one
phase 1 172 box is the strongest.
What exactly goes wrong with your boxes, are you smashing the gears or popping the circlip so you pop the shaft & loose drive ?
I smashed the gears and cracked the casing on my last ph1 172 box
Not sure there is alot you can do about that really except be a little more gentle with itOriginally Posted by Adey aka Ewok
I'm dreading putting 300hp through my valver boxI have a GTT box as a spare, think I will either have to get one of those rings that bolt in or a bolt in diff or I can see shafts popping out all the time
Are any of the volvo boxes any good ?
JB casing is a bit beefier but the 172 box has better gears.
In other words, both as usefull as each other!
the m60 volvo box is suposed to be little stronger that gtt (and porb not as abused) also has a longer 5th aparently
