Re: Baywindow 2l transmission CPT
Could you (read, "me") use this g.box as a direct (no mods required) bolt-in unit to replace the really irritating short ratio box (read, " I can only get 100km/h then the engine wants to explode") on my single cab 1600 DP?

Re: Baywindow 2l transmission CPT
Ha, ha! That's comical in an odd sort of way. Thanks for the cackle Merlin.
Seriously though, the car has a pearler of a smooth motor built by Tony Z, new rims and tyres and brand new brakes, and I mean calipers, discs and master cyl. like new including flushing out the old brake fluid from the whole system. I do a lot of travelling and it would be nice to get to a comfortable 120kph without stressing the motor out.
Just a simple yes or no will suffice.
Edit: Bugger!!!!!! Help!!!!!

Re: Baywindow 2l transmission CPT
Stand totally under correction, but i seem to recall later boxes has worse ratios then early ones.
But other then change the box, fit bigger wheels.
The bus is made to carry 1 ton load, so strength you have in the drive train, so fit big wheels.
Have big wheels on my Fugly, and she runs a treat on the high way.

Re: Baywindow 2l transmission CPT
Thanks Herman. I already went quite a bit bigger in the tyre department which has helped a bit. I stuck to commercial tyres for safety reasons under work load too.
I did speak to Bugger once and he mentioned a 5 rib. I think he called it Pyramid. I was wondering if this was it?

Re: Baywindow 2l transmission CPT
I believe late and early bay gearboxes are interchangeable. But I'm not certain that one is a bay box; it may be a T3 box. I'm sure Bugger will chime in shortly with a definitive view.

Re: Baywindow 2l transmission CPT
That's not a 5 rib pyramid gearbox. Its the later 6 rib 2.0 gearbox. It will fit in your bus, straight swap over.
The gear ratio's are not that different from the 3 rib (1600) box though. Its not going to make your bus any faster. Doubt that 1600 would even be able to push it to 120km/h.
