RE: [alfa] RE: price for 1750 gearbox

The gearboxes themselves, are interchangeable between the different bell
housings. However, keep in mind that there are two different diameters of
input shafts.

If I remember correctly, the later input shafts are of a smaller diameter,
so when used with an early bell housing a non-standard sized seal must be
fitted.

Yes, I got bit by this some time ago and had to pull the transmission again
due to a rather large leak.

I hope you are aware that there were two incompatible versions of
transmissions for the 105 1750 cars. Early cars had clutch pedals
through the floor and a direct connection (mechanical) to the clutch
whereas later models used firewall suspended pedals and  a hydraulic
slave cylinder to operate the clutch. I suspect the actual gearboxes,
less bellhousings, were identical but this might not be the case. I once
tried to marry a 2000 slave cylinder equiped bellhousing to a gearbox
from a 1300 GT Jr without success. Finally had to modify the floor pedal
assembly to accept a clutch master cylinder (I had swapped the 1300
engine for a 2000).
