ESKIN8R Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 You sure its the gearbox and not the diff thats blown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 now ive got a sierra 5speed with xflow belhousing on the shelf in the garage It will be the stock sierra bellhousing, since pintos and kents use the same one anyway lol. Its easy enough to put a T9 behind a Xflow you need: *hillman hunter clutch plate *Escort pressure plate *auto/RS2k/custom driveshaft *pinto Cortina speedo cable *auto escort xmember fitted backwards is meant to work (or just bolt the sierra one through the floor) *you need to trim a few mm off the end of the input shaft otherwise it loads up the thrust washers in the engine *and of course you need to cut a new hole for the shifter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusherman Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 legend. thats the exact info i needed chur. have an old drive shaft that came with motor that seems to fit the splines on the t9 box so i should beable to split and fit with my escort 1. must say the drive shaft does have a random ruber donut thing joining the output and drive shaft at the gearbox end looks to be a weakness. any way got to spannering this arvo guna pull it out motor and all and paint the engine bay while im savn/sourcing the rest of the bits. cheers for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it myself so I can't guaranty it but using the front section of a Sierra driveshaft with the Escort hanger and rear shaft section is meant to work. Cortina and Sierra shafts are the same total length but the split and hanger etc is further forwards on the Sierra driveshaft (I am 99% sure its the Sierra with the shorter front section) The doughnut/coupling is meant to be good for up to 200hp if its in good condition, but in my experience they are prone to perishing and cracking with age.

pusherman Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 next question is there any trans tunel mods needed to get the 5speed bellhousing up in there? or can i get away with droping my engine mounts as low as poss 2 gain sum clearance.
