If the "five speed box" is from a T3 then yes, it will... As long as it has a diesel bell housing and input shaft.

sorry, you need the diesel input shaft fitted which is shorter than the petrol one

Oh dear,

I wonder.... does that mean I will need to buy a petrol input shaft for my RJES subaru conversion ?

I have just had to shell out an unexpected £230 for a new petrol tank and all associated - the missus is having a fit :shock:

Richard from RJES wasn't 100% sure about 1.6CS diesel input shafts..

you'll need a petrol input shaft for the RJES bellhousing, I should be able to let you have a preloved one, you'll also need the petrol clutch fork cast arm and a clutch slave bracket and support bracket from a petrol bellhousing and ideally the petrol gearbox mount and rear linkage, I have the slave bracket and mount but I don't think I have a 2wd petrol rear linkage
