P11 AMC gearbox out, TTi 5 speed going in

Sort of important note: Ya can't remove the fake cam spindle bolts in the TTi gearbox and leave them out because the threaded hole is through drilled into the case. There would be a whole lot of gear oil on the floor. That's not how I found out the holes were through drilled. I inserted a 12" long x 1/16" round rod into the case and it went in about 6" without hitting anything. I replaced the fake bolts and washers that came in the case with thinner stainless-steel washers and button head hex/allen drive bolts for more clearance. Also used thread sealant. You can remove the fake plunger housing acorn nut and stud.

I won't be using those nice Minnovation Racing gearbox fasteners until I make new plates. Maybe next year. The Minnovation lower bolt is too short for my Shade Tree Barnyard imagineering add-on plates.

Think Simpson Strong-Tie

And Yes the frame could use repainting. Low on my priority list currently.

Currently getting started modifying the oil pipes to go under that foot rest mount thing that looks like a nut and under the gearbox. The gearbox is close to the timing case in the fully forward position. Has to be that close to get the belt on easily. It will move back some when the belt is adjusted.

Many an obstacle has to be worked around to do this gearbox swap and maintain a stock appearance on the drive side with a belt clutch in the primary. Need to get a smaller washer for that gearbox pivot nut. :)
