Hello,

First of all cheers for everybody as I´m new here.

I have a gearbox which I believe is from Ford Escort Mk3 RS Turbo S1 (circuit) racing car. It is a 5-speed dog engagement gearbox with viscous LSD. Originally it has a cable clutch.

Now the gearbox is broken and I´m very keen to have some information about it. Manufacturer? Model?

Here is some pictures of gearbox to be identified:

looks very similar to the one i have

hewland af100 straight cut dog box

but there are some differences

here is mine




and yes sir they are rare, do you have someone who can rebuild it for you?

 

do you have any other parts for it?

 

what car did you get it from? few odd bits like the front mount and starter motor location

do you have any more pics of the hydralic clutch conversion?

 

Nice! That is same gearbox The gear linkage in my gearbox is "home-made" because there was no linkage when I bought it. Do you have pictures of the linkage?

Yes, I have one extra CWP (~4.2:1) and one viscous LSD (no oil). And in Finland we have manufacturer which make gears for that gearbox. And those are left-overs....

Actually everything inside is OK but the bellhousing (shown in pictures) is broken. Do you know any place where to get one of those? I´m also interested other (spare)parts..

no sorry, i could of helped with gears but i do not know of any spare bell housings

no pictures of my linkage yet, mine is home made and im not liking it. i will get a quaife set up for it when funds allow. i will get a pic of my linkage in the morning when implaying with car

you are the 4th person i know with one of these boxes

i think they was used in both circuit and rallying

the shafts will need to be made for this as mine are alot bigger gearbox end and then use standard hubs

 

Actually gearbox is now in different car so the front mount and starter location are different.

Here is picture of hyd clutch conversion. It´s first version and now the bearing is different.

 

Which LSD do you have? Mine has Gemini (plate type) LSD and it´s originally from VW. So I use VW inner joints (OD 110mm).

Ooooooh, get you two waving your fancy gearboxes around.

 

 

I wonder if the stamp GSE is Gordon spooner engineering.

 

Buy this and take the gearbox out of it.

I believe also that the stamp is from Gordon Spooner. Maybe the gearbox has been serviced / repaired there in the past.

I hope that there is some other way to fix my gearbox than buying that car. Because that car is very nice piece of rallying history. So it should be kept in on piece.

you not got one then mr c?

 

Errrrr, no. I'm just going through the aggravation of fitting an MTX.

 

Hi Gus,

Did you take pics of your gear linkage?

i will get a pic now, will have to go home before i can upload thou as i not got the lead here

its very agricultural!!!! hence me wanting to change it

do you know which model volvo you got your hydralic clutch bit from? any mods to the bell housing (internally)?

 

It´s from V70 (petrol engine) year 2002. But there is similar cylinders in various Volvos..

It needs only little machine work inside housing to fit it. Oh, and you need base plate for it. Here is a foto of it...

 

this is my linkage, not the best pics but you get the idea



just need the quaife unit now!

 

Nice trainers.

 

their the other halves, she got freakishly big feet

 

 

thats some nice Gbox
