I'll preface this question by saying yes I have searched and no I didn't find what I was after. So I better not see any newbies telling me to search!
I have an MK that originally had an L28 fitted, I bought an MQ with a Small block Chev and Cabstar 5 speed fitted. Swapped them over and had fun for a while.
Then broke the 5 speed, picked up a 4 speed to temporarily replace it (Cost a slab).
Now here is the problem, Cabstar 5 speed input shaft looks the same as the 4 speed shaft except that the overall length is very different. About 155mm on the 5 speed and 195mm on the 4 speed.
Is there a different 4 speed or input shaft I can use that is shorter or am I better off getting another Cabstar 5 speed and fitting that up?
the gearboxes from the SD33 engines had a longer shaft as the engine was shorter than the petrols... id say your new box came from a diesel. if you can get your hands on a box that came from a petrol then you can use that shaft... of just that box even
