K-Series Gearbox Options


Mark H

 

K-Series Gearbox Options

The K-series engined Elise uses a Rover gearbox, designated the PG1. Nominally this is similar to the gearboxes used on many MGs and Rovers from 1.1 through to 1.8 litres, with the main variants being the ratios used and the stype of clutch lever.

 

There are 2 main groups of ratios used in the Elise PG1, wide ratio (WR or commonly referred to as 'std') and close ratio (CR). The std ratios were fitted to normal Series 1's, Series 2 111S's

 

The std gearbox can be fitted with a variety of different ratios with options being available from places such as Eliseparts, Quaife or www.Gearboxman.co.uk .

 

Completely different replacement gearboxes are available from Quaife (and allegedly an option from Ricardo). These allow the option of 6 speed, dog or synchro engagement, straight cut or helical gears, sequential or H-pattern arrangements, but with an associated cost of £3k->£4k.

  • Emissions help?

    Hi, recently bought an S2 Exige but the emissions seem to be a bit north of where I need them to be for a mot! I don’t suppose anyone has a friendly tester or a cat I could borrow for a day? Happy to leave a deposit and beer tokens 🥰🥰🥰etc etc….. based in near Stoke on Trent! cheers

    S1 Type 49 Elise Refresh

    And so the winter refresh of my S1 Elise started today. Hoping to take front clam of tomorrow. However of the 4 lower bolts that hold the lower rear to the chassis, 2 are spinning and 2 won't budge despite copious amounts of penetrative oil over the last few months. The Eagle eyed will spot my Dremel tool which I'm not looking forward to using to remove 4 bolt heads that have limited access. Currently on my list are replacing the driving lights brackets, shot blast and paint the tow post, n

    Elise Cup Front Splitter

    Hello everyone,  It has been a while since I've made a post. It's finally that time of year that the car is coming out more frequently and for some reason I seem to have back luck with my front splitter. I was wondering if fellow or ex Elise Cup owners could shed some light onto how you manage to keep the splitter in good nick? It's a little deflating when it bottoms out or hits something and you step out the car and see the damage.  Any suggestions welcome 🙂,  Iowan

    Bilstein Repair Service

    Hi A couple of weeks ago my 2008 Elise failed its MOT due to leaking rear Bilstein dampers. A look on elise parts and they were £330 incl Vat each without the springs, so I decided to look at my options and found out that Bilstein offer a rebuild service. Dropped them of at their service centre in Leicester last Monday, picked them up yesterday. £140 incl vat per damper for new seals, pistons, gas and oil plus a degrease so less than half the cost of new ones. Very good
