which CV's do i use

323_mazdabator · 07-03-2005, 11:10 PM

just out of curiosity i'm doing a bpt conversion in my BG sp.. just wondering will the GTX cv's fit in my car?

chicaboo · 07-03-2005, 11:21 PM

Won't your old G series gearbox bolt straight up to the GTX bellhousing?

geetee · 08-03-2005, 08:22 AM

it should, unless you mean you just want to keep them as spares.....

There is no point to fitting them even if they do fit (never done it but I'm pretty sure they do), they are the same phisical size.

As chicaboo said, you use your original gearbox.

yeh thanks guys i found out today that they won't fit. i just thought that they may have been stronger and may have been worth trying to put in. but they won;t fit so it all good thanks for the help

One of the most bizzar things is that the late '96 1.8 Astina has V6 drive shafts and an 'F' series (read fragile) gearbox.

Go figure

pr1mo · 08-03-2005, 08:19 PM

yeah?

wonder when mine was built. will do some investigation

You may find the info on the little sticker fixed to the inside of your windscreen. You know the one, it changes colour every year.

What is it called and what is your opinion of it

Cosmo Dude · 13-04-2005, 04:46 PM

The V6 gearbox is basicly the same as the 4 cyl box except that the bell housing casing is designed to fit the V6.
The right CVs are the ones that are in there (or identical Mazda/Ford ones). It's a fact of owning a FWD that the CVs will wear. Your mechanic will send the shafts to a CV rebuilder who has the parts to fix them.
