another one on gearboxs

[andytechno]

will my standard bellhousing on my 5speed type 9 fit my mk2 escort auto tunnel or wil i have to get on of those ally rs ones?

 

the engine and box came out of a capri if this makes any difference.

the type9 in my manual with standard bell housing is a tight fit with the help of fbh but it should go straight in with the auto tunnel

[Mk 1 Mark]

Will fit no problem

[andytechno]

oh phew!

 

cheers fellas.

it does fit in a manual tunnel but its a tight fit, but because yours is auto no probs, best way to get it in is unbolt the cross member and let it hang down and it fit's in a lot easer, the only thing that changes is the gearbox mount its in the wrong place you need to move it back 2 inches ish, and it need's the spacer blocks if you move the mount back, if you get the long straight mount you can bolt it through the floor but its not the right way to do it and the prop needs to be changed for the 16 ghia or rs2000 mk2 one

hope this is some help

twinkles one has got standard bell housing and a steel sump off a cortina on it and it has not been cut or bashed in because the mounts are spaced and its a manual shell

Hold on a minute,does this mean i can fit my 5spd box in my mk2 escy without modding the manual tunnel.e.g. bashing tunnel or cuting it out all together?
