T25 Gearbox in Bay

[graham-e]

I decided I need to get the van sorted as its been of the road nearly 2 years now!
So far i've most of the main things engine wise sorted, but there is still welding to do. Build thread is here.

When I had test drove the van there was pretty bad clutch judder, which I suspect was from the combination of a worn gearbox mount and a dodgy clutch cable sleeve. I decided I wanted to upgrade to a hydraulic clutch which would solve the cable problem.. I have also been looking into cable-shift kits to replace the gear linkage since there's more chance in pigs flying than finding a gear.. I then had a brain wave and thought, why not chuck a 5 speed 094 gearbox out a T25 in to replace my weaker 3 rib box in at the moment.

So I'll basically end up with a 094 gearbox with cable-shift gear stick and a hydraulic clutch.

So what I'm asking is; does anyone have any idea if the T25 gearbox will bolt up to my RJES bellhousing (I assume it will), will there be room for the gearbox with out any major fabrication work, will the drive shafts fit the 094 box and is there anything else if not thought about.. I understand i'll have to make a bracket to mount the nose of the gearbox to, but this shouldn't be a huge trouble.

Any input will be a great help! Cheers

in short, yes a T25 box will fit in a bay. 'cos thats what ive got.

i'm at work at the mo so cant put up a picture, from what i can remember you lose the hanger bar just below the fuel tank as the 094 box is taller (at least the bellhousing/starter gets in the way)

come to think of it, i have no idea how the nose is supported. i'll have a mooch in a bit and put up some pics.
