Hi guys
Currently building a gearbox to use for abit of fun in a few different motorsport applications
4.29.1 final drive (1.25 fiesta)
Reworked RST S2 LSD
1.7 5th gear
(Unless someone has a 1.6 5th gear spare? )
Couple of queries and hoping someone might be able to help me out..
1. I’m struggling to find a part number for the gasket for the end/5th gear housing (ib5) seem to be able to find ones listed for sale for BC gearbox’s but not IB5 ... they look very similar. Does anyone know if they are the same?
2. Also the bearing numbers for the differential ( 1 large/1 smaller) I see them for sale as a kit from certain outlets but the prices seem steep for 2 bearings. Does anyone know the actual bearing numbers ?
3. Gear oil? I know/have read it’s 2.8l 75-90 but is the a preferred or better manufacturer recommended for motorsport applications that anyone is using (synthetic?)
Many thanks
Tom
