Rb26 R32 Push/pull Trans

[tommytomatoes]

Currently I have a pull transmission. If I get a push transmission, am I able to swap the bell housing/input housing, to retain pull style clutch?

I have a nismo twin plate coppermix and I would rather not have to buy a push clutch.

I see tonnes of pull to push conversions but not vice versa.

Thanks guys!

It is just the same. All you need is the front plate from your pull gearbox and make sure the new gearbox has holes to mount the slave cylinder both ways.

Not sure why you'd want to keep a pull clutch though, they are a PITA to change and have less options available

why change the clutch when a simple front plate swap will do the same job?

Thanks guys for the info.

Honestly the clutch is 300km away from brand new so Id prefer to keep it, esp with the Canadian dollar being so bad right now in the market. Ive found 3 trans so far and all of them are push sadly. Tap the 2 holes, swap the front plate and bobs your uncle.

slightly off topic but is converting a pull gearbox to a push a bad idea?

It really doesn't make a difference, the only reason you would do it is if the clutch you wanted wasn't available as a pull type

So I ended up reusing the pull gearboxes bell housing onto the push transmission, zero problems swapping over.
