Hi Juran
I have no idea but I know there is also a Valeo kit available. I'm sure someone will sort you out soon.
Regards Marius

Juran- go to Centpart on the cnr of Lenchen and Jacaranda str in Centurion- exactly opposite Chaimberlains. Speak to Rian (he's gotten most of my parts for me) and ask him to order the LUK clutch for you. If you have spare cash, go for Valeo, but I have the LUK in my Niva and no problems yet (early days still). The clutch will cost just over R1200. They'll have the clutch within a day.
Go. Now.

Ok Ok the box is in and the Lada went well for a few Km's until the gearbox blew the front seal. I think the speedometer cable jammed the breather. So we have to start all over again. Gearbox sounds great. Will keep you up to date

Hi Juran
Great to hear from you! How much oil did you put in the box?
Regards Marius

Hi Marius put in 1.8l

Juran I found that with the overfill some oil leaked from the gear lever boot and I reduced the oil level to around 1.7liters.
My feeling is that you don't need to overfill at all - it can damage the seals like it perhaps did in your case.
If you want to overfill I would suggest 1.5liters.
Regards Marius

Thanks Marius will try that tonight. Will drain and refill to 1.5l. Will also check if the breather works properly. Maybe just maybe the seal is still OK

Hi Juran I don't think the speedo cable can do much harm to the breather - I am holding my breath on the seal Regards Marius
