I'm fairly sure i swapped the extension housing also.. but can't remember. you'll need to fit the carby kickdown cable though i think which needs the pan off i think if you leave the current extension housing on, you could use either gearbox mounts, might need to drill a hole in the middle of the cross member for the EA one. one of the benefits of the C4 was shorter first gear ratio (i thought?) and possibly sapping less power or multiplying it better.. been a VERY VERY long time since i'd heard about it. i would have used a BW51 because i got it for free.. if i was spending $150 on one i'd have probably found a C4 instead but i assume anything pre EB these days would be rare 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a place here in brizzy that can do mine or a new one,also ea 2 to ed and ef to el and so on they also do a new std one for xd to ea 1 for $170 ,that sigma thing is interesting but just for simple fit including shifter the bw51 is hard to go past and all my speedo drives and wiring make it even easier the c4 bell is cast iron and this one is alloy Sent from my SM-G570Y using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
