is manual tranny of left hand drive interchangeable with right hand drive??

[zuruzuruz]

hello all,

i really want to know, is it interchangeable? RHD gearbox and LHD gearbox? pardon me the naiveness, most cars that i see, the orientation of an engine is pretty much the same regardless of RHD or LHD. so, i would imagine that the mounting for the tranny would be the same, the way that it connects to the clutch and onto the flywheel and onto the crankshaft is the same. The way that i can think of the difference is the clutch pump location. Even the gear 1 to gear 5 or Reverse location on the shift knob is the same. I hope anybody who has experience this situation can enlighten me..

Thanks so much,

Hi mate,

from my experience, the gearboxes are the same. The main difference between RHD and LHD is mostly the steering rack. The engines and gearboxes are no difference if from the same model car. I have seen the stuff from Taiwan where they are LHD, works the same inside a RHD wira :)

Hope this helps ...

Regards.

thanks.. avielboys, thank god that has been cleared up.. cos ive been hearing ppl say that LHD gearbox is different from RHD.. So, if that is out of the way, if required any, I can place an order in overseas at ease.. :D

thanks again..
