Urgent: 6 speed bell housing.

[Guest]

Anyone got a broken 6 speed box they don't want or for sale, I need the bell housing only, don't need front diff or the rest of the box.

Uhoh.

Maybe this:

Probably easier than finding a broken one.

ouch.. wouldn't it be cheaper / easier exercise to have the part welded back on in situ?

that was one option but don't know if I trust it with a 600hp car. May as well bite the bullet and get a new one or secondhand if I can find one. in saying that I just went to the pub where it broke and found some of the bits that broke off in the car park, so its an option.

Being a "subst" it's just an alternative... maybe they reinforced the pivot a bit

Alternatively, if I were to try and repair your one (assuming it's just like that photo) I'd drill the hole out larger, insert a lump of alloy rod, weld the **** out of it to the housing, then drill and tap for the pivot pin.

I wonder if this is related to running a heavy clutch?

It's very similar to the photo. The clutch in the car is actually a standard 5 speed clutch and flywheel.

I could still use it but probably going to upgrade to 6 speed clutch, flywheel and going to a more appropriate set up for the power and the box.

Order of progress is: 1) Try and find secondhand bell housing, 2) if not go to PBMS and get a new one, if they in stock I want one pretty quickly, 3) if not order from the site you linked to (thanks for that).

If it comes fedex from partsouq takes 7-9 working days.

You running a stock sti clutch on that power? Just upgrade to another 5 speed clutch save monies.

that's my backup Clint, hoping to source secondhand one for cheaper first. I have an event on Friday I want to go to but probably will miss that, but definitely want to be at the event on the 4th march.

Clutch is ok condition but does have chunks of material missing of it, so best I change, 2000km per clutch change is a bit stupid.

Yea meant something heavier in 5sp not stock again. Impressive it hasnt given up ghost completely tho.

I didn't expect it to last long it was only a 400 dollar clutch from nzad on trade me, I am surprised it did as well as it did. I have around 1 mm of material left on it.

Buy my STI clutch
