I believe there may be some issues with the adjustment of the gear shift link balljoints in going from be1 to be3 box, I've used the links from the 'box of the donor 1.9, so can't be of more help on this!

vince 0 Posted November 2, 2006 I've no experience, but the reverse gear on BE1 and BE3 are not at the same place on the grid and are not selected the same way so as steve@cornwall said may be a good idea to use the gear lever and linkage from the BE3 gearbox... vince Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
