Gear box gets a good clean before painting. I got a 8p 5 speed that I was going to use but been advised not to on here.

not sure why you wouldnt fit a 5 speed mate...

Sounds like bad advice, did they want to buy the 5 speed too......

Well I had the 5 speed sitting in lock up for a while and I asked on hear should I replace the 4 speed for my 5 speed 8p gear box.  You all said don't bother??  

best thing i ever did to mine ...much more relaxed and confortable to use on longer runs

This is why I didn't fit it.

up to you mate 

 

i like mine - relaxed cruising and with the 1300 /1400 enough oomph to pass on the motorways etc in 5th

 

could always leave it in 4th if you dont like it lol

Well it's bolted up and back in car now.  Never mind I can still use it in my 1.3 cl when I need to fit a new clutch etc.  

4 speed cleaned and bolted back to engine. Looks alot better. 

did you grease the clutch lever?

Yes I asked on hear on what grease I need to use. Thanks.
