1/2 Gtr Box

[stagon]

Hi all,

I have the opportunity to pick up a R32 GTR box cheap however it is only the front and missing the torque converter ( I think that is what it is called) is it possible to use the torque converter of my auto box???

Torque converters are only in autos......?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A torque converter is a hydraulic fluid coupling that is used to transmit power from one or more engines or electric motors to a driveshaft or other output shaft. It takes the place of a mechanical clutch, and, within certain operating speed ranges, multiplies input torque, providing the equivalent of a reduction gear. Torque converters are commonly found in automotive automatic transmissions, but are also used in marine propulsion systems and various industrial machine tools.

is it missing the transfer case not the converter? is that what you meant?

Yes, that will be what he ment.

Best to PM StageZilla as he has rebuilt his transfer case before.

From memory, yes, it should fit.

[GoldZilla]

Or he could mean the bellhousing, which is what goes over the clutch assembly...

on the R33 gtr box the tranfer case is one and the same with the gearbox, i can't see a way to separate them, is the R32 box the same?

The transfer case can be removed with the whole rear end of the gearbox, it nearly splits the box in half.

You can't use the auto one, it doesn't have the hole in the top or the workings inside for the manual shifter.
