PhilMorrison Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 For sale; Getrag V161 Gearbox. I think it's a V161 not a V160. This is based on my memory of buying the gearbox on this forum probably 15 years ago. Also from a quick bit of research on the ole internet. Pics show the different webbing on the back section of the gearbox indicate its a V161. But please do your own research based off the attached photos of the actual box. This is from my Driftworks S15. I sold the car in 2012 and bought it back from Greece last year. It seems to have had extremely little use in that time. Mileage unknown. I have a feeling it was around 65k miles when I bought it. It's been in a drift car that wasn't road registered so it won't have done many miles in my ownership. I have always used it with a Carbonetics carbon fibre clutch. They are very gentle on engagement compared with normal multiplate clutches. I actually have a complete triple plate clutch and slave etc that can be included by negotiation if required. Seems to work fine, but I've not driven the car more than in first and second gear since buying it back as the fuel pipes were leaking and it's now in disassembly. It's had a crack professionally repaired on the top of the bell housing. See the last couple of pictures. Inspection / collection from Driftworks in Birmingham B11. I may consider palleting and shipping at the buyers cost and liability for loss or damage. The gearbox is sold with absolutely no warranty or return. Price - I'm told it's worth £8,000 as it sits. You are welcome to tell me it's not. Cheers Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
