C160 crown wheel question

[crispy'86]

We have a 6 speed box from an ae111 in at work and wanting to know if the crown wheel and pinions are model specific to that model box or could i get away with getting the same from an ae101 5 speed box, fit it to the ae111 6 speed box and have no dramas? I'm thinking of putting it into my ae82 fxgt

I don't know for sure, but I recall my mechanic telling me the pinion in my C60 box was narrower than in the C56. The gears themselves are narrower too, presumably everything was squashed to fit the extra ratio into the same size (kinda) gearbox housing.

Let me guess, the C160 has stripped crownwheel and pinion? Common problem with them...

if you meassure the width I can go check against a c52 one

Yip sure has, will measure width tomorrow at work

maybe warwick could give me a price for crown wheel and pinion for an ae111 c160 if needs be

[sergei]

how about really expensive you could probably buy 1.5 good condition gearboxes instead...

most likely, other question is anyone got some spare bits from an ae111 c160 box??

Measured up pinion shaft where seal runs: 33.5 mm
Mainshaft near the gears 52mm
Can't measure up crown wheel, the boy who's car we took the box out of decided to frame it and put it above the fireplace to brag to his mates

would it help if someone could measure up a crown wheel from a 6 speed box and a c56 from a 101?? It seems the 6 speed boxes are longer in the casing to accomidate the extra gear from what i could tell

sorry been abit lazy will measure a c52 tomorrow

my c56 had larger gears than the c52 apart from the crown an pinion been the same.

c160 also has a different final drive

doesnt matter about different final drive ratio, just want to know differences in the crown and pinion
