    V6-24V Manual Gearbox ?

    These are like rocking horse sh*t, I must have emailed and phoned 300 breakers and none have them in. Ive found a couple of auto`s and a couple of 4WD`s but no FWD`s.... anyone any ideas? Other than me buying a car and stripping it myself?

    Would it be possible to import one?
    Not from the people I used, I hasten to add.

    I need a 4WD gearbox for a 6A12TT... any idea where I can get one?... it has to be manual though... and what's the price like?

    Is the 'box the same on a 2.0l and the 2.5 v6?? Once all the hoops I have to jump thru for my insurance company are jumped I will have a 98 2.0l gls (69k) with rear damage (cat c write off) which would be suitable for repair / parts.

    Would prefer to get shut of the car in 1 go rather than break it up as i have neither the time / tools / storage

    Does anybody know if the gearbox from a Lancer Evolution 1-3 will fit a 6A12?... Aren't the supposed to be similar or the same?

    They all look similar. I wouldn't have thought it would be difficult to stick it on, but the best way would be to find the box you want to put in it and compare the bell housing and transfer box mountings as well as the shafts. If it all matches up then most of the headache will go!

    Good luck!

    ok, I'm still experimenting with the gearbox for my Galant.. the 4G63 tranny will not fit.. starter motor and everything just doesn't add up... I have a 3.0 V6 Twin Turbo 3000GT engine which was supposed to go in my car but is down for repair and overhauling ATM... I'm wondering if I can use the tranny.. I will experiment with it but I wanted to know if any of you have heard of such a swap?

    Thats a big engine, I looked at them and decided to go with the 6A13 instead into the FTO.

    That engine has the gearbox on the other side of the car. I would imagine that will make it a million times harder than the Evo box. Are the shafts the same distance and design on the Evo box? Would it be possible to manufacture a hybrid bell housing so it fits?

    Nick the old 6A12T had the box on the drivers side as well, which I assume is what he is trying to swap out, otherwise I would have recomended an FTO gearbox which sit on the passangers side.

    I am actually sourcing an FTO tranny.. because it seems like I will end up FWD... I was just trying my hardest go retain my 4WD system... I really wanted to keep it... so I'm trying all sorts of ways to find a gearbox to keep the 4WD... so you guys are saying that I should try the 3000GT gearbox which is on the same side?

    what is wrong with your current gearbox?

    If you want to source an FTO one go through www.japco.co.uk tell him Rich with the VR4FTO sent you

    I have an automatic gearbox which has gone bad.. the changes are lazy, it doesn't shift into gear right away, it feels messed up.. I read that there is a weakness in those trannys so I want to get rid of it... but I cannot seem to find a manual gearbox anywhere and repairing the auto is too expensive.
