Ser III gearbox in a IIA

Will a ser III gearbox fit straight into a ser IIa station wagan?

I believe that it will. Mite have to check on which clutch tho.

6 cylinder enjun or 4 cylinder enjun? late 2a or early 2a it meks a difference ya know

arrrr Jim lad - good point tha Drippy.

raise:

Clutch release mechanism is different as is the slave cylinder location.

Yes as above ^^^ check the clutch too. One is deeper than the other....can't remember which way round (in terms of late/early)

HTH

Probably worn bearings. They are rebuildable. You can get a 'recon kit' from LEGS.

Don't bin a late 2a gerbox!! They are the strongest of the series gearboxes and are very simple and usually cheap to repair. Before stripping the whole thing down, try replacing the detent springs: They cost pennies. I would not advise just jumping in and buing a recon kit if the detent springs don't sort the problem. Strip it down first and find out what's wrong, get a parts catalogue, make a list of the part numbers of the parts that are worn out then order them.
