This bellhousing allows the 2.0l or 2.3l Duratec engine to be connected to the Ford Type E (Rocket 4 sp) and Type 9 (Sierra 5 sp) gearboxes using a cable clutch. Shown with Clutch Release Arm, Clutch Release Arm Pivot Pin and Release Bearing (none of these 3 included). These 3 clutch release components utilise a sliding bearing and accompanying clutch fork/pivot pin, allow bearing self centreing for more accurate actuation than the standard Ford clutch release components.

Not compatible with standard flywheel. Needs Ford Duratec lightweight Steel Flywheel - 8 1/2" or Ford Duratec lightweight Steel Flywheel - 7 1/4" Race Clutch Plate.

You may also need the spigot bearing that fits directly in the end of the crankshaft.

Options
** The quick release option allows quicker gearbox removal and fitting by moving the 4 internal gearbox to bellhousing bolts to the outside of the gearbox. This allows the gearbox to be removed whilst leaving the bellhousing in place, making a difficult job much easier.

If you do not specify the quick release option you will need 4 of 12mm x 1 1/2mm pitch cap head screws (available here),which are fitted from the front of the gearbox .

Supplied with a recess machined in the gearbox end of the bellhousing to accommodate the layshaft boss found on some heavy duty Type 9 gearboxes. Fitted with layshaft retaining cap screw in cases where this recess is not needed.

Specification and Application

* 2.0l only; the 2.8l gearbox requires an additional adaptor plate due to the longer 1st motion shaft
** Requires bolt holes in gearbox to be drilled in order to work in this manner
