Xtrac is extremely proud of the quality, success and reputation of their products and we are delighted that you have chosen to use the 1152 gearbox. The design of each gearbox is the subject of much research and development, technical analysis and detailed testing.
Specification The 1152 gearbox has been designed for use in Sportscar endurance and sprint races, using many existing tried and tested parts packaged to suit the specific needs of high duty Sportscar formulae. The unit is a longitudinal transaxle design for use in rear wheel drive vehicles and comprises six forward gears plus reverse.
4.3. Gear Cluster The 1152 gear cluster comprises straight cut, hobbed and/or ground gears mounted on the easily removable rear cover subassembly, shown in Figure 1 - Section View of Gear Cluster Assembly. The gearchange operation is a ‘dog’ type.
(as installed) for ease of inspection and maintenance. The barrel should be shimmed to ensure it holds the selector forks and dog rings central to the gear cluster. A cluster setting jig (1152- 999-006A) is available for this operation after gearchange barrel and/or barrel bearing replacement.
Lightly oil the parts before assembly and do not use any lubricants other than those stated in this manual. The oil filter fitted to the 1152 gearbox must be replaced at least every 6000km (3728 miles) or sooner if debris has started to collect. The filter is situated on the suction side of the pump, so any blockage will manifest as a reduced pressure in the feed lines to the gearbox oil feeds/sprays.

Cluster Setup The cluster should be assembled referring to the Xtrac assembly drawings 1152- 902-000A and 1152-996-000*, in conjunction with the instructions presented here. 5.2.1. Ratio Change Procedure The instructions presented below describe the simplest method of changing a gear ratio set.
999-005A) and a 5/8” Hex Drive (1/2” Square). Do not fully remove the locking nuts at this stage. Lift the cluster cover assembly from the 1152-499-008A holding tool and place it cluster plate down on the 1152-999-004A Cluster Stand Assembly. The layshaft and mainshaft locking nuts can now be removed by hand from their respective shafts.
5.3. Differential Setup The differential should be disassembled, assembled and setup in accordance with drawing 1152-949-000A Plate Differential Assembly and using the tooling as follows: - 626-499-004A Splined Socket 41T (for measuring turnover torque) - 626-499-005A Splined Socket 41T (for measuring turnover torque)
6.1.2. Training/Servicing The 1152 gearbox is designed and manufactured for use in cost control categories and thus great emphasis is placed not only on its reliability but also on ease of servicing and assembly. Product training sessions at our UK facility are available to provide technicians with the basic knowledge to carry out their own routine maintenance work.

1. Introduction / Scope This standard exists to provide recommendations on tightening torques and minimum lengths of thread engagement. 2. Tightening Torques Please note: In all applications, Loctite 270 thread lock shall be used when assembling studs into casings. When defining tightening torques for studs into casings the torque used shall never exceed the nut tightening torque specified in the table below.

3. Length of engagement for mating threads If failure of a threaded assembly should occur, it is preferable for the screw to break rather than have either the external or internal thread strip. In other words, the length of engagement of mating threads should be sufficient to carry the full load necessary to break the screw without the threads stripping.

Ref Description 1152-420-000A CLUTCH SHAFT Following initial testing and racing of the 1152-900-000A gearbox in the LMP3 application, it has been determined that the diameter of the ground nose journal on the 1152-420-000A Clutch Shaft requires amendment to optimise the fit inside the engine crank bush.
Page 52
All 1152-900-000A gearboxes fitted with the 1152-420-000A clutch shaft and supplied by Xtrac from 05/05/2015 will also have the issue number 4 or higher and will be manufactured with the reduced nose journal diameter, unless otherwise notified.
