legerra gearbox
im looking at possible options for a 5 speed box to fit in my leggera over the winter i could go for the type 9 box but they are getting pricey these days and i would have to change/do some chassis mods to get it in there .so i was thinkin mx5 or rx8 i believe these are both rwd boxes but im not sure of size in comparison to the type 9 also the prop could be an issue if they are different splines .any one with experience on this ??? your advice would be appreciated

hi daryl the original prop fitted up to the 5 speed i had taken a measure of the gap/play on the prop and the gearbox and left the same gap on the new 5 speed box so hoping it s going to be ok

there was nothing wrong with the prop ? the old gearbox was ok after i change the saddle for the gear stick and put a new clutch in it

Should have said you wanted gaskets...

well i got the 5 speed fitted today thanks to mr southgate for the pics they came in very handy done it almost the same as adrians picture but replaced the side to side protection with a 25mm sq box section welded in the front of the original currently waiting for the sump and head gasket to get to the next stage of the game plan i have even painted the inner wings and chassis frame work so looking pretty good at the moment

well i haven't been on for ages i bought all the parts to do the rx8 gearbox then got offered a type 9 at a decent price so ive removed the 4 speed and started on the type 9 upgrade as it seems a fair bit easier to do especially at the clutch looks like im going to have to mod the tunnel some to let the gearbox sit back a few inches i have been looking in the gallery to see if there was any pics but cant see anything . the good thing is i already bought a new clutch and will still be able to use it :) hoping to get it back up and running in a couple of weeks .

i checked today with the supplier of the conversion plate about the clutch plate and it can take the 8.5 inch theres plenty of room for it the guy said . but im thinking if i change it to the smaller clutch i would need to change the flywheel as well ?? can adrian or daryl confirm if my thoughts are correct on this
