    OK, another part from SJ that doesn't fit, maybe I'm asking too much. Has anyone done this before, is this correct, do I have to "modify it" myself, anyone have any tips?

    I currently have a S1/S2 manual (the black one 04/78) and this refers only to 907 engine. Is there a 912 manual?

    When installing my gearbox, it threw up an interesting positional problem which I'll reference below. I have a very early S1, 238G (Jan '77), it seems that all of the S1 before approx 350G had slightly different features, and hence, go together away from what the manual says. The problem I had with the gearbox concerns its position in the car relative to the other components, most especially the engine mounts. The vertical aluminium uprights on the gearbox are slightly shorter (top horizontal dimension) than a late S1 or early S2. I have the new hanger kit from SJ as the ol

    Anyone know how much an engine weights?
  20. markjonesx
    What sort of gauge do you use to check the nip? Normal DTI? Anyone got a pic/link?
  21. markjonesx
    Probably just bolt on the 907 assembly, then I'm pretty sure it would be OK, and this was how the gearbox was? Got some time yet, engine not even stripped.

    See below, the clutch assembly on a 912 engine (out of 1982 Esprit) seem to be different from the 907 clutch plate from my '77 S1 Esprit. I have an original Citroen gearbox in my S1. Question: Will both fit? or should I go with the 907 arrangement? Hmmmmmm..............

    What does this mean?

    I'm installing my gearbox into my S1. This is the Citroen type box. I have bought some new bushes for the gearbox hangers from SJ as the old ones were shot. Now I have a clash issue see picture. I have measured the best I can from face of gearbox to centre of the engine mount, this is 320mm give or take a bit and hence the gearbox is now in the correct position apart from needing some 15mm spaces to fill the gap! Is this all correct? or is something dodgy going on?

    Having done some reading on 900 series engine builds, I have a question regarding the liner to engine block "Nip". The manual says that you should have a "Nip" of +0.003 -0 to +0.005 in. Do all the Liners come exactly the right size? if your our of tolerance what do you do?
