Wanted: RS2 Gearbox

[Larry Carr]

Flexible shaft ?

Where is that and why is it allegedly any better ?


Paul

It's a torsion shaft, so absorbs sudden shock loading by twisting slightly.

Rather than a solid one, which could snap.

[martinjs]

"could" but how many do you know of that have?

[HPmuirt]

isnt there a way to convert the early CGR gearbox to RS2 one?

Not that I can see, as the wider 1st gear needs a cut out in the casing that the early boxes just don't have.

Also, doesn't the torsion sharf lessen the damage to the teeth by absorbing some of the impact, which I suspect is more important than the anti-snapping thang.

So, WHO HAS A BOX FOR ME???????

Where mate? That website shows the wide 1st gear but no reference to flexible shaft?

I'll have to dig out the reference from the forum

(EDIT) Already answered. I should read threads fully first .

ABY with CGR from 77644 onward also had a flexible shaft. First gear p/n: 01E 311 105 H, same as CRB.

My figures say the change was at 43795 but it's neither here nor there. Basically the later CGR boxes are the same as the CRB boxes.

@Si,

Have you forgotton the deal I offered you last year? If my gearbox fits the bill I'm still willing to do a straight swap if you can find me the box I want (and it's not a DSY anymore )

DOH! Must have been drunk at Billing as this is only vaguely stirring the odd brain cell. Send me a PM with the details and I'll start hunting one down
