Gearbox Swap But No Release Fork

[Will Eastman 6]

As title im swapping my 1.6 gti be3 gearbox for a reckon one, but the reckon one doesnt have a release fork, what will this mean for when i come to fit to my car, can i just take the old one off my current gearbox? And would i need news bushes? Also any other little bits that will need to be replaced, just want to be able to do the job in a oner.

 

Thanks

just swap the fork assy over. i'd put new bushes in it for a smoother, slicker change

Be warned that getting the fork and clutch arm apart can be a challenge as the pin will likely be seized solid.

Anyone got the part numbers of these bushes? Thanks

There's a thread that's been active in the past few days with the part numbers listed if you do a search - started by Philfingers IIRC

I've got some spare bushes if you need a pair of yellow ones.

As Ant says you may need a new pin to secure the arm to the fork, not available seperately, but you buy a 306 one for a few quid that does the job just as well, and it's removable, easy!

'205' pins are still available from Peugeot. You may have to buy a bag of 2 though.

Hey sorry to bring this up again but almost at the point of doing the gearbox change. Want it to be a quick in out job, does anyone know if peugeot dealers will stock these bushes or should I just buy a pair of each (yellow,white) so im not waiting around?

you just need to check which you have fitted already, i.e yellow or white, as for stock levels, you'll have to ask them to find out.
