hey guys/girls finally have my engine in and running,seen as though i rebuilt the engine i put a new clutch and pressure plate and so on in!i have a rb25det 5speed are the clutch splines the same as say an mx7 cause thats what clutch i got?does not seem to be taking of real good?and how much oil should i have in that gearbox?cheers

The VL turbo uses a 10" clutch combo. The RB25 uses a 9.5" clutch combo. The splines are the same between them. You have to use the correct flywheel for the clutch though, you couldn't put the larger VL turbo clutch on a flywheel designed for a 9.5" clutch. The MX7/RB25 box uses 2.4Litres of oil. SAE 80W grade. Mick

thanks mate

Taking off real good? - Whats it doing? If it's a brass button clutch, they don't slip and, are hard to take off slowly.

no its all going abit better now just waiting to put new gearbox oil in,i cant get the plug from the side out so i tryed to put in through the top but just wouldnt go throught bout 1l went in its a rb25det box any other surgestions

You have to get that plug out, its the only way!

thanks mate ill try

Get a long bit of pipe onto the socket handle for extra leverage, if thats the problem.

even try to tighten it, then loosen it.....it should break the locked thread. Off subject but i have heard this method reccomended for spark plugs too.....
