22 Gearbox Mod

[LD RACE-TECH]

Has anybody got any pictures or know a link on how to raise the gearbox 1mm in mid motor setup. I can only find guides on how to do it in rear motor form.

Cheers...

I haven't personally heard of anyone finding the "need" to raise the tranny in mid-motor configuration, but the process would be the same as in the rear-motor.

Its not possible for it to be the same as the plastics used around the rear of the car are different.

I've done the mod on my 22SCT mid config to help with driveshaft angle with lower ride height,

It is basically the same as rear motor mod as Robby said, just you can't use the shaped spacers from aftermarket companies

I just used some 1mm aluminum shims that were spare, you have to trim the mounting lugs off the rear of gearbox and put 1mm shims under motor guard to avoid strain

If you are bothered about shims all falling loose when disassembling then you can glue the shims to the parts

Can't say i've noticed the difference as not really tested but happier that driveshafts sit a lot better on the bench with the 22SCT... should help mechanical grip and increase roll slightly with higher C of G
