Thanks for the reply matey. Im just after the plastic trim that sits externally to the crank, waterpump. It seems common for the belt to gouge into the cover so I was thinking, could I use another model's cover but trim it down due to the C1's shorter block? Seems a little MacGyver, but i'd rather t...

Hey guys,

Seeing that my lower belt cover has been chewed out, I got thinking... Could I trim down a D1 / E1 lower cover to fit the C1?

It's rather hard finding someone who wants to part with that cover and is not in the same state as mine :p

As our fellow Kiwi suggested it was the bearing stuck on the spline. I had removed the gearbox quite a while ago and tortured that bearing by towing it a bit of the way to freo and ditching it at a ship.

Like this?

Thanks for the reply wedgenut.

I was going to take the whole engine/box out as one, but now cant do that.

Hi guys, Im having probs removing the gearbox.. it comes apart about 10cm then the thing wont move anymore... its got quite a lot of flex in it, U+D, L+R. Its not snagged on anything. Ive done the rubber hammer, and two blokes ripping at it. Ive done gearboxes before but this one is fu*ed to get off...

Thanks then Nick. I'll need to be looking around for a TF box then

Its out of a 2003 rodeo if that helps.

Im desperate for a good box, and i can get an R9 pretty cheap.

Cheers

No one knows what a R9 rodeo box is do they?

A quick question, will a R9 Rodeo box about 'bolt up' the the 4Z?

Cheers
