Thank you for taking the time to help Mike, and Stevie, I will have to get measuring, my garage is ten miles away from my house towards central London so I cant just pop out there ! I turned down my Cossie front bearing carrier to fit the TVR bell housing, so I will do the same on the Mustang one ra...

Cheers, I have been trying to sort things out, AP don't list that clutch plate so ive Emailed them, I will have to measure my bellhousing hole for the bearing carrier fit, I had to machine the Cossie one to fit, I cant find any tech info on the net ( PDF OR DRAWING ) regarding the size of the T5 bea...

Fantastic, thanks for that Mike, I pulled the Cossie box today and its fooked, the main shaft has gone where the needle rollers from the first motion shaft are.

In case my T5 Cossie box is not worth repairing, (see rebuild thread) I am looking at whats needed if I buy a new aftermarket box, I will have to alter the gearbox mount, the prop yoke, and get a 10 spline clutch, I see that some 10 spine plates for Land Rover are available (link below) my question ...

Is it apart yet ? Does he even know which parts it needs ? Might not even need half of the kit ? We have rebuilt my friends gearbox, it was in good condition, we replaced everything anyhow, as he had the full kit, I have hurt my back so cant pull mine at the moment to see what its like, have since ...

I have contacted him, it works out at £624, and that's just for bearings seals and labour. Surely he will sell you parts ? or Gears ? http://www.gears.tv/products.html Thanks for that, didn't find them when searching, have emailed to see if they do a kit, the one burtons sell and the USA ones are a...

Does anyone know if a Ford rebuild kit M-7000-A fits the Cosworth T5 box ?

If the grease thing don't work, try a small rawlbolt, the type with the threaded rod coming out of it, any DIY/builders should have them, expand it inside the bush and attach to a slide hammer and it comes out easy, I had to do this last year when the grease wouldn't work on that occasion.

Thanks for the replies, I found that a 3.9 range rover sump, the one I have got, takes 5.8 litres. according to the factory workshop manual I found.

I have my new 4.6 RV8 engine, with a 3.9 sump and a 3.5 dipstick ! I need to know the exact oil capacity of a 3.9 so I can see where I am at, I have looked all over the web with different results, if someone replies from the USA or whatever their measurements are different to the UK which is even mo...

I posted a topic a while back about this, after having trouble with blue antifreeze in my RV8, I was talking to an old friend at a car show yesterday and he told me about Fernox Alphi 11, its a central heating antifreeze that a lot of the classic owners are using after having trouble with even blue ...
