Quite often, motorists try to connect a "non-native" gearbox to the engine. This is not an easy matter. However, you can do everything yourself without contacting a service center. Most of the difficulties arise in the manufacture of the adapter plate.
Instructions
Step 1
This technology requires a careful approach. During manufacturing, an error in hundredths of a millimeter is allowed, otherwise vibration and violation of the entire structure will occur. The adapter plate should be about 15 millimeters thick.
Step 2
First, make a centering with a thrust flange. It will then need to be inserted into the hole in the crankshaft from the flywheel side. Also, the centering will need to be screwed onto the knee instead of the flywheel. On the centering, make a hole with which it will fit on the splined input shaft of the gearbox.
Step 3
Prepare the plate. Cut it along the contour of the box or engine, depending on which part has a larger diameter. After that, you can cut the middle of the plate. Look at the center bushings or pins that are found on the engine and gearbox. Select the unit on which you can drill through the center holes.
Step 4
For the selected unit, drill holes for the mounting bolts. But do not drill center holes. Drill out the caps in the bolt holes. It is best to choose the socket head bolts. Potai can be made with a smaller diameter. The design will be much more rigid.
Step 5
Mount the manufactured device to the unit. Be sure to check if the plate fits snugly against the unit. Put on the second unit through the centering and fasten it all together.
Step 6
Drill thread holes through the bolt holes in the second unit. Cut the threads. It is best if the holes fall into the body of the opposite unit. In this case, you need to drill a hole and cut a thread in the body. You need to make a hole in the plate for the diameter of the bolt.
Step 7
After the threads are ready and the bolts are tightened, you can drill the center holes.
