Aye they are a heavy old thing to press up into place on your own!

[A1quattro]

thanks all its a 016 im sending to namibia , i think the 016 5 speedboxs are around 70kg, 1 less gear , incedently this winter i am hopeing to fit the alloy engine block saving 25kg, as i have 2 spare 01e gearboxs ,one with damaged syncros i was think of stripping the gearbox to a bare box [case] then having a go ar shaving some weight off . -10 kg would be great has anyone every tried this [i know im sad] maybe i could sand back every other webbing /thin . any idears

[terrybullwon]

No weight to be had off the casing apart from the mounts for the cats on the bottom.

[A1quattro]

If I am not in a rush I use a jack to put it up into place. Prefer to keep the gearbox in place as much as possible!

[A1quattro]

no idears from anyone ,for saving weight off the 01e gearbox then ,even if i can only save 5kg im happy but 10 kg sounds better

[BennyBoo]
