    Cheers,
    it's only bolted up to the car ATM, needs fuel system done, cooling, wiring and the list goes on.
    But a fun little project.

    Hopefully in the next coupe of weeks i can at least get it running. Because of the complete engine and 02j conversion I've got a few miner set backs on the gearbox side that's obviously not a direct fit like speedo, clutch cable and reverse switch.

    After the gearbox, what else is needed? Surely you can just wire up to the reverse switch with your existing wires.

    It is just that simple Jordan.
    But 02j gearboxes usually run a hydraulic clutch slave and Due to the fact it's going in a mk1 I don't really want to stuff around converting the car to suit this set up....only just for now.
    I will be using a a cable operated one that's from a seat. Doing this doesn't allow me to run a reverse switch at all. So I'm going to try and come up with something to fit.
    I also need to run the cable operated shifter which I excited about.
    Basically in a nut shell I just would like to get everything working the way it should before I start diving, because I know I'll leave it on the back burner.

    Hahaha, I'll be upgrading that also with larger breaks on the front and disks on the rear.
