Bought a car and got this gearbox for free. It has a broken output shaft and previous owner told me that there is nothing wrong with this box but the shaft. I cannot believe that if the output shaft is snapped the internals of the box are undamaged.

Im planning to open it up and inspect it and hopefully fix anything thats broken. Problem is, i have never opened up a gearbox before. Is there something that might go ping and hit me in the head or something ?

Also, anyone got an image with an exploded view of one ?

Also one last question. will an R32/33 gearbox just bolt straight in a VL commodore chassis ? like mounts all in the same spot ?

For the box mounting - best off to check calaisturbo forums.

Plenty of that info there.

As for the box, if it is damaged you might be better off getting a 2nd hand one.

They are reasonably priced (compared to a rebuild) at around $600-$700 or so.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
