I got most of the stuff done at the weekend apart from the oil breather dome which is now on order.

When i came to do the seal on the gear selector, there was no brass bush, The seal just pushed into a recess in the gearbox housing itself.

I know there may be a few different boxes for the G but does any one know what mine could be. My standard box from the 1.3 genesis engine has the brass bush and seal. So i ordered the brass bush for no reason.

that sounds wrong dude, the bush taps into the box and the seal sits inside it.

i always get the bushes out with a chisel and hammer, and tap the bush and seal back in (seperately but in that order) with a VW wheel brace as a drift. (I cut the brace down and used the rolled edge as the driving portion of the drift)

can you get a pic up?

Think Gavin might be onto something. I remember looking at my gearbox (CEG) over the weekend, and then an 8P and thinking it was different. It was exactly as described, the later box looked like the bush was recessed or internal or something. I didn't give it more than a 5second look though.

not all CEGs are the same though.  I used to have one which had a pressed on diff crown wheel but some others had bolted on ones.  Depends how old the box is.
