About to put a second hand manual box in and new clutch got a few questions.

 

Can you take box out with gearstick in place .

 

Is there diffrent sendors on a uk box looks like a wire and plugs for external oil cooler [its a uk box going in]pipes are linked already.

 

Can anyone recomend anything to clean the box with tried gunk bellhousing is hard to clean was going to try wonder wheels.

 

Do standard pivot balls fail much on these cars i know theve been known to snap of on 200sxs.Is it worth getting one.

 

thanks taff.:rockon:

The gear lever is disconnected from below so yes you can leave it in,the only sensor difference between UK and Import box is the oil cooler temp sender as you said, no problem left disconnected.

 

Brake cleaner is the best way to clean off the crud.

 

Pivot balls can break, more often though with heavy upgrade clutches still if you replace it, you know its ok, oh and also check the clutch fork for wear, make sure it has a firm grip of the bearing carrier when assembled.
