What engines does the manual box fit?
« on: 08 September 2009, 12:27:51 »
Hello,

Took a manual box off a 2.6 and I need to know what other engines it fits as I have someone interested in buying it.

Cheers,

Dave

Cheers for the quick reply, I have a funny feeling it's an AR35.

I'm guessing it'll at least need a different bellhousing on a tractor though...

Oh ok, I thought I had read that on the side, must be me being stupid.

It's definitely a manual. Maybe it's an r35. I will check it tonight.

Probably an R25, then, if it's manual and came off a 2.6?

OK it's got an identity crisis.

It says R25-R28 on the side, so which is it? Or do both share the same case? Are all Omegas hydraulic clutch?

So it will fit any omega, but may need to change bell-housing over.

Its either one or the other, can't be both, most likey R25 if taken of 2.6

Bell-housing will only need to be changed if your fitting it to the 2.5 bmw diesel, not sure about Vx 2.2 diesel lump  :-/

Definately says that on the side.

I will take a pic when I get a chance. It maybe a few days before I can get into the garage again.

I must say thanks again to everyone for replying.

OK, I like a decent mystery, so I went out to the garage again. This iss by no means an easy task which is why I wasn't going to do it tonight, but I was intrigued and so here are the pics.....
Part number....

Then the mysterious R25-R28

And then the other number next to the above....


I hope this sheds some light on it!

So I have an R28 (hydraulic clutch) that will fit any Omega (maybe not TD without bell housing swap).
