Going to sound stupid here, but I'm stuck, and can't do a search as I don't know what to search for!!
I've swopped the gearbox on my engine from a mk1 remote box to a later style one.
However the centre gear has a different diameter. (19mm and 22mm approx)
My question is, can the bearing be changed, or do I need a new case all together? And/or starter etc
Hope it makes sense! And thanks

You've gone from an A series to an A+ gearbox case which means you have also changed from A series transfer gears to A+..

You need an A+ transfer case now...

 

Or change your idler gear to an A series variant of the SC gears you have there and change the bearing in the gearbox from the A+ idler bearing to the conversion bearing DAM3745 and then you can use your existing A series transfer case.

Thanks for the reply, knew someone could decipher my babble!!
So if I get the conversion part, everything else will fit ok?
Thanks Guess-works :)

While you're there you will also need a new stabiliser bush at the back of the case, and I would suggest a new spigot bearing, as the bearing is a matched pair to the race fitted in the transfer case.

you will also need to change the idler gear, to one with a smaller diameter shaft. This may involve first finding out who made/supplied the straight cut drop gears

Think I'll get a A+ transfer case then.
Is this something you could help me with at all?

Why not stay with the remote. Best engine steady money can buy!

Went with 'advice' given a while ago, and too late now lol, the remote will be for sale soon tho.

Breather or no breather on transfer case

Maybe, but the A+ gearbox is a lot stronger.
