Here's a few more pics. The new fifth gear bolts have a different spline type than the old ones and might need a special tool

That, and this corroded drive flange are the last things to address. Finding one of these 02A flanges is proving difficult though. Anyone got an uncorroded one??

Gearbox all back together after a coat of paint..

Mega props to roccodingo for spending so much time on this for me!!

I don't mean to sound rude, but I have posted it about 3 times already!

VR6 clutch (sachs) and 228mm flywheel.

What a day.
After having my $300 Cordoba break down from a faulty fuel pump on my way back up to the workshop this arvo and wasting two hours and $100 on towing it up there, I took my frustration out and got stuck in.

FINALLY the RV is out.

Stay tuned for more progress over the week...
