type 9 input shaft
mark_rayfield - 14/2/03 at 12:15 PM

ok, so I know the input shaft is not actually part of the box, but part of the prop-shaft.....

I'll be ordering a prop-shaft sometime soon and I need to know the diameter of the input shaft to fit a type 9 box. I think it's 35mm, but would like confirmation from those more knowledgeable out there. Also, does anyone know how many splines it should have on it?

Cheers for any and all info

I know I'm not answering your question, but...

...when I bought my propshaft from Autoprop all he wanted to know was the type of box (type 9), the diameter of the differential flange (the Escort used 2 sizes), and the distance between the end of the gearbox and the flange.

Everything else he worked out from his own knowledge (and it fitted, first time).

Err, no, the input shaft is what the clutch plate slides over.
But yes, the type 9 (most) have a 35mm output shaft.

i got mine from reco prop and had a similar situation.

all they needed was the length between the diff flange and the end of the box without the slidy output bit thingy fitted.

came right length with exactly the right amount of slack.

about 140 quid all in
