What on earth is a "Nose Cone" for the IS200 gearbox?

Apparently they cost £60 and I need one??

No idea. Can't really find out via Google either, though I can see lots of references to it on various cars.

Did you say yesterday that you had a problem with your gear lever, or am I thinking of something else ?

yea the gear lever needed welding together after it stuck in 5th and broke, causing the clutch to slip a lot, thus causing the failure!! but nothing to do with the nose cone, i will find out tomorrow its just that I don't like spending money on things that I don't know about.

ok, just wondered if the gear lever problem was connected with the nose cone. Let us know what it is when you find out ! I know what you mean though, I'd want to know what it was, what had happened to it and why.

ok, I could well be wrong but I *think* it might be the "front bearing retainer" in this diagram.

yea the part is the front bearing retainer. This has failed, causing the clutch release bearing to get fowled up on the clutch cover plate and they all self destructed.

Yay, I figured it out correctly lol. Took a lot of Googling, mind Big Grin

Bummer though Phil, do you know if the flywheel survived ? Got an ETA for the new parts and getting it back on the road ?
