Just wondering if anyone has a shagged tranny or even an old one thats been cut up.

Getting parts to make a test stand and need to make a starter bracket.

Hi John

I have one here but don't know if it's much good for holding engines.

....even if I had, I could never admit to having shagged a tranny...

You might find someone with a bus/bay type2 /early T25 Bus cast off bellhousing, where they've converted to diesel JX/1 y n have no use for the aircooled 4 bolt style bellhousing

I've one I'll using myself which I got off a diesel gearbox I bought; it seems the T25 was converted to Nissan/Datsun SD diesel in its past n presumably you' needed the petrol/4 stud bellhousing to mate with the old school plate engine adapter....

did the tranny have a big crack in it??????

Might be as easy buy the bracket when the time comes.
These days you've got to inspect these things carefully n can't take stuff at face value ....

On the other hand further investigation might prove the the old saying "sometimes knowledge can be too heavy a burden"
