Post by mupetmagnet »

Hi all

im hoping you can help me out.
i have a 5 speed gearbox and prop off of a 320/6 i would like to fit to my m10 engine (1.6). my question is, can i fit this straight up to the back of the engine, and if so do i need the 215mm or the 228mm clutch to fit it up?

You can not fit an M20 gearbox to an M10 engine.

You should be able to sell the M20 5speed quite easily, there has been recent requests for them with speedo drive option. I think the M10 5speeds can be picked up for similar money so should get you out of the pocket too much.

Stick a for sale or wanted add up for them.
