Gear boxes?

[aid22]

Hi to all,

What's the difference between an LC g/box and a PV one, and how can you tell?

The YPVS gearbox hosing is slightly wider, so the output shaft and selector drum are longer. I think a couple of the gears are the same and the bearings. Compare the part numbers and you will see :-) They are certainly not interchangeable in full.

Thanks for that  .
I will check them tomorrow and share the outcome.

I've got a spare Lc set of gears and a Pv set in the garage at the mo, so I've done you a comparison for you. Pv gears at the top in both pics;

Thanks for doing that Dusty.
It's clear to see and I remember the difference, although it has been a long time since I messed about LC's so I will need some guidance .

Both the shafts on the YPVS have a 29L part number, so are not the same as LC ones. Quite a few of the gears have 29L part numbers too...

Any parts with 4L0 numbers are compatible with LC.

I'm about to build and engine with a mixture of Banshee and YPVS gearbox parts (that could be a head scratcher}. Thanks for the tip mutts.
