Folks, I have had for some time a 016 box with upgraded strengthening plate and Porsche 944 LSD inside that I got from the engine supplier for CAV in South Africa in 2005. I have had issues since replacing the rear primary shaft bearing that when engaging any gear I have lock up between input...

Thanks Cliff running them both, 944t and the plate. Good point though! You are right its a straight forward op. I have it down to about 40 mins to clear the car. Fingers crossed Steve

Cheers Cliff, I will be pulling the box. Cannot see how they escape into the case there is very little clearance, I believe that they were missing from the start. Can't take that chance though, so off she comes again!

Scotty Thanks, was quite confused with the diagram. As for the missing detents, I did not have an issue with gear disengagement prior to me splitting the box. I did not disassemble the middle case, only removed the rear bearing case. I wonder if it possible the detents went into the casing...

Scott, Checked both the headbolts and it behind them are no detents and springs. Looking at the diagram attached it looks like the sprung detents are spring first and on other side of the selector? and not accessible from the headbolts. If this is not the case then I have no Detents in the...

Guys Still having fun with my gearbox. I changed out the rear bearing on my input shaft as the cage had fractured in a couple of places. Since I put it back together and re-installed, the 3rd gear keeps jumping out. This seems not to be a linkage tension issue as I have made adjustments...

Plagiarised Thai Energy drink money merely the current "CHOSEN ONES", and my guess is that the midget gets more than a lifetime supply of RB to append his little blue pills to keep up his end of the deal. In reality my guess is this stems from way before the "Chief One eyed Austrian Scout...

Guys, I have damaged my front seal seal face of the aluminum casing whilst in process of removing the seal. Not sure if I can braze/weld and refinish the recess. I have removed about 1/2" of the lower part of the face so will be a tricky job. In the event that I need to replace the...

Cliff I have a new slave and will get it assemled. Fingers crossed Thanks Steve

Finally got the rear end off the box, the rear thrust bearing cages both sides had three cracks. Race turning but not smoothly. Ordered a replacement. Also the spigot has lost a couple of needles into the crank recess. (possibly when pulling the box off). I can see some hydraulic grease...

Not sure if the input shaft is supposed to move axially at all. When I pull the selector shaft and move left or right to attempt to engage in overdrive or reverse the input shaft actually moves slightly axially in opposite directions respectively. When this occurs I cant actually get engage...

Gents Have a CAV with 016 Audi box, recently I have been having issues engaging gears having to double clutch at the lights to engage. There is no real issue whilst running along street and changing. Have also noticed that on start in neutral a slight movement on the car like viscous fluid...

Ron, Could not believe my eyes to see Eddie over helping you, he helped me when I lived in the Cape. I guess he shaped the windows with his eyes shut eh! Probably paid him in fishing tackle, I'm sure. Good job!

I did this two years ago bringing my CAV in from South Africa. As Bill suggested the only way is removal of the engine and transmission (assuming you want to bring it out of the garage). I shipped in the same container under the designation car parts. Registration varies from state to state...

Just a few ideas.... 1. A mark IV version GT40 won a major fench race in 1967 which version won the same race the subsequent year? 2. What Oil company were Ford GT's closely associated with? 3. For what was Spain associated with the Ford GT? 4. Name the two most famous GT40 colors. 5...

Poor show really but not completely surprising. Would have expected the forum would be dependant upon the number of a particular brand in existence. Seems not! It is also apparent that some of the CAV threads were not migrated to other forum locations. I spent a month back in Cape Town and...

Tom Cheers same thing just got my plates today......involved and slightly taxing but nevertheless done....

John you are right thanks to you for the advice and to Ron for the contacts, look forward to hooking up with Ron the Cobra Club in Houston if they allow younger vehicles to attend. Cheers

State registration database Mark I just brought my CAV in from South Africa to Houston and have assembled engine and am about to get ready to go to county license. I went to DMV and they told me that I must register this as a 2009 kit car. My understanding is that in other states these vehicles...
