Hey guys trying to decide which gbox to build for my deluxe. Having only ever had 1 remote box 15yrs ago I cant remember what it was like. I like the idea of the remote change due to the torque tube effect of the housing. Do rod change gear sets fit in a remote housing? Cheers in advance Rodney |

Rodchange gearset complete fits in a 4 synchro remote case (22G1128). Except for reverse gear; the fork groove is different. Remote box is better located than a rodchange, even without adding the rad end steady bar to it. Rodchange has all the same location problems an 850 did. |

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I've been meaning to ask for a while. If you go with a remote shift gbox - if the outputs are hardy spicer - is it possible to convert to a pot joint set up with the remote gbox? If so, is it a big job/many mods? Cheers James |

Cheers James Not hard at all- you just need to pull the diff, fit pot joint output shafts to it, and use common Mini (not S) side covers. |

Gearboxes in both my Moke and work Mini are remote shift with pot joints. No problems with oil leaks like I used to get from rod change (plenty of oil leaks everywhere else though  )More reliable than rubber unis or Hardy spicers. I have had this set-up for nearly 20 years without problems. |
