As it says, pref complete with bellhousing, gearchange, throwout fork etc. Shipping one from UK is uneconomic unless it starts VERY cheap!
thanks
 
Apologies if I've asked you this already, but I thought you folks down in the Antipodes tended to install Toyota Supra 5 speed boxes using a Dellow conversion kit? I was given to understand that whichever gearbox that is can take considerably more punishment and is more readily available down there. ISTR the Dellow bellhousing was a thousand Ozzie smackeroos which certainly ain't cheap. Just musing.
 
Having done an LT77 install once already its a known quantity with a straight forward process. Loath to go down an experimental path - Dellow adapter being up in the same price as a new genuine LT77-v8 bellhousing. Not in a rush, so will hope for something to turn up in due course.
thanks
 
Found a complete unit, with a gear lever(getting rare/expensive), and even better an unbroken pivot cap. Just got to get it from Perth to Melbourne- 3400km by road!
thanks
 
Shouldn't take long to get there and back in a 928! Plenty of room in the back for a box, bell and bits too. ;)
Hope it's a good 'un and look forward to you documenting your installation, and all the fun thereafter.
 
No 928 involvement in this! Only paying the guy$100 for shipping, very good value. When I had a damaged gearbox MX5 in Riyadh years ago I came home bought a box, and asked the supplier to ship it to me back in Saudi. When I got the bill, it cost MORE to ship from east side of Melb to air cargo depot on west side(50km), than it did to air freight it to Riyadh!!! 12,000kms! Boy did that burn me up!
Was planning on at least checking the shaft endfloats, contacted Ashcrofts re shims - Nope, dont do them anymore. Bugger.
