This bellhousing allows the 1.8l, 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 hydraulic clutch.
Comes complete with Adaptor Plate to take AF14 Hydraulic Release Bearing (not included).
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.
