Upgrading 4speed to 5 speed (type9)
Roland - 26/4/07 at 08:53 PM

Greetings people. I am wanting to upgrade my standard 4 speed box to a Type9 5 speed.

The engine is a 1600 crossflow, I have a type9 gearbox and clutch kit to go with it.

I know I will need to change the propshaft and the gearbox mount.

Q: will I be able to use the existing flywheel and inertia starter motor.

if not

Q: Which flywheel will I need

and

Q: Will any ford 3 bolt pattern pre engaged starter do ? If not which one do I need.

Q: will I need to change the speedo cable

Finally, is there anything else I will need to change.

cheers

Roland

P.S If anyone wants to offer me sensible money I have another type9 for sale
