I think the difference in the two is the number of splines (20T v 23T?) diameter of the friction plate should be the same. Check the number of bolts on the pressure plate attachment too.

so I wasn't planning to do anything to the gearbox other than clean it, replace seals and change oil, but now its out of the car I can see that the input shaft has some lateral play, maybe 2mm at the tip. Is that normal or do I need to replace the input shaft bearing? thanks.

hi there. I'm an ex-pat living in Geelong Australia, and just picked myself up a 1973 Mk1 escort so I signed up, because I reckon I'm going to need a whole load of help getting it back on the road. thanks in advance......
