gr33nlemon Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hello,I need some suggestions for an uprated clutch, the car now develops 123hp and 240Nm with further power increases in mind.I'm open to any swaps from other cars, even if I have to machine the flywheel but I don't want to machine to much the gearbox housing.And from what car does the hydraulic clutch actuator fits? The cable one has a long travel and is very hard to press in combination with this gearbox.Thanks a bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I thought the 3l was an auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patronu Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 It's a manual gearbox with an automatic device that changes gears. Not that hard to convert to fully manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr33nlemon Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) It is already converted to manual , that was the first step . The advantage of doing this is that you change faster and better than the old hydraulics can, plus the old hydraulic clutch actuator only released the clutch 90-95%.

If you have the original gearbox, I would start saving for frequent replacements!RAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also trying to figure out some way of using a hydraulic clutch, but I am going to continue with the cable for now.What turbo and injectors did you use? I have a GT1749V and ARLs for mine.

I've had to do 2 in about 300k km with original/stock torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAB Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 How many gearbox rebuilds have you had RAB? I've had to do 2 in about 300k km with original/stock torque.None, still on the original clutch (213k km). I was more concerned with the power he's putting through it.RAB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derv Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 That´is good going. I have had a broken selector fork, then a stripped 5th gear, which seemed strange to me for a gearbox that always gets perfect shifts.I changed the clutch the first time which was at around 200k km, as I had already ordered it before taking the gearbox out, but the original was in very good shape. So for the second gearbox fix I did not worry, and again the clutch hardly showed any signs of wear.Another advantage of using a manual shift is the ability to use an alternative gearbox to the stock 3L, although I would be reluctant to lose the weight advantages of the orginal gearbox. It is not cheap to rebuild though, the last one cost me well in excess of £1k. The 5th gears alone were about £600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
