I have a side link box and a shifter if you want to go back to stock. What you have is a BW single rail with a re-drilled sidelink capri box's bellhousing. In fact Dellow make a cast bellhousing for this conversion.

I have a Type 5 updated capri gerarbox I was saving for myself to use in my white capri, I could be pursuaded to part with it

cheers ill see how i go with this one and try see if any pop up on ebay or gumtree that are local while im using this one
but ill keep it in mind

cheers

It's a v6 bell housing - might be an ok set up?! The original external linkage box isn't great

I'm sure someone here will have an original gearbox spare if you need it. If you can't find one let me know.

might take ya up on that

or if anybody in sydney has one complete with shifter and bell housing in good order that might want to sell it or swap etc

cheers

from the numbers of the borg warner all i can see is its a rt charger 4speed tf4 borg warner

looks like i have to source a gearbox i think

gee went to get the flywheel resurfaced and a new clutdh as well bloody hope it fits or its going to be one useless expensive outlay again

I suppose just measure it up top bolt wise to the Essex. You might have a weird box but it might the newer 4 speed. All our gearboxs apart from the RS3100 had side linkage 4speed.

Side linkage box was supplied on Aussie V6s, but the RS3100 (plus later Mk1s in the UK) got the internal linkage Type 5 http://www.burtonpower.co...e-5-gearbox-guide.html

The side linkage box appears very similar to the Type F box, but I'm not sure if it can be considered the same. http://www.burtonpower.co...e-f-gearbox-guide.html

hwy boys doing the part of the car i have left to do the gearbox

i know when i had the other capri it was a side loaded linkage type gearbox

this one i have seem's to be a borh warner type 4 i think with a single rail selector

im not even sure its of the capri considering when i brought the car everything was off and i think they have just chucked some gearbox in to make it look like theres one wasnt fitted up on engine

do any of you boys know if there were two types of v6 gearboxes

cheers
