Stu 18 Posted February 22, 2008 Other than the location of reverse, what are the differences? Can i use a BE1 box with a BE3 linkage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masekwm 2 Posted February 22, 2008 Other than the location of reverse, what are the differences? Can i use a BE1 box with a BE3 linkage? What about a BE1 box with a BE3 clutch? I'm in a similar position! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jord294 92 Posted February 22, 2008 be1 and be3 have totally different clutch release bearings, although the clutch and pressure plates are the same iirc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony 1,003 Posted February 22, 2008 BE1 has different reverse position (next to first, as opposed to below 5th on BE3), has lift-up reverse lockout, uses a different style clutch arm/fork meaning that the release bearing and clutch cable/pedal are different (although the friction and pressure plate is the same) Mi16 BE1 boxes are actually a mix of BE1 and BE3 - they use a BE3 style clutch arm/fork, but BE1 gears and lift-up reverse.

Tom Fenton 1,542 Posted February 22, 2008 What about a BE1 box with a BE3 clutch? Yes you can do this, I have a BE1 1600 box fitted with the BE3 style clutch release mechanism, all the holes etc are there, it is just a case of swapping it all over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stu 18 Posted February 22, 2008 will a be3 remote find all the gears on a be1? is the pressure plate setup the same? Im thinking if i swap the arm from my be3 to the be1 it might work with the be3 remote? Otherwise im probably going to build a 1900/1600 hybrid as im having no luck whatsoever finding a be3 1600 box, its getting fookin' annoying now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,542 Posted February 22, 2008 I've got a BE3 1600 box, but unless I get offered decent money for it, I'm keeping it, as I use that box in 2 of my 205's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
