Transmission

Post by parisian62 »

G'day everyone,

another question...is the two wagons owed by the Crupi's brothers running the standard EK crashbox?

If so anyone go any ideas how they hold up and what they're like to drive with the sports grey under the bonnet?

regards
Stewart

Both as far as I know are standard grey crash boxes. Sam was telling me his was giving him grief jumping out of gear on the way to the Nationals in Forbes.

Thanks Smooth. I'm heading down the sports grey path with my EK wagon and would like to stick with the three on the tree.

Thanks Trev. I think I'm going to stay with the standard gearbox as I want to stay in the 'sports' category. I think changing to the HK/t/g transmission would push me into the modifieds???

Yes it would as the All Syncro 3 Speed is the same case as the Aussie 4 speed.
