Help! My flywheel doesn't fit!
Hi Guys
I have removed my xflow in favour of a silvertop zetec.
The problem i have at present appears to be that my flywheel doesn't fit in the gearbox!
I'll be honest and say i don't know exactly what the flywheel is, but believe it to be a zetec one, and the gearbox is a 5 spd type 9.
I thought that the zetec running gear was supposed to fit straight in, or am i supposed to grind some extra off the bellhousing?
Pics below.
Thanks,
Andy

That looks like a 2.0 flywheel,they dont fit inside a standard type9
bellhousing.
You need the flywheel from a 1.8 to mate them up.

well that's the other consideration i guess... i know little about them tbh.
It was mated to a crossflow before i removed it, otherwise i know that it's a 5 spd.
Are there stamps or something somewhere on the gearbox/bellhousing to identify it?

What release bearing do you have fitted. For a zetec to type 9 you need the CTT133 release bearing.

i don't know what the release bearing fitted is but i'm well aware of the need for the 133!
i'll check the casting on the bell housing.....

Your flywheel part number is off a 1.6L Zetec engine. This may explain a few things.

Looks like an ali bellhousing? Looks different to a type 9.
I may be wrong but if it came with the crossflow its a type 4 bellhousing or something special.

That looks like a MK2 RS bellhousing with the clutch lever side chopped off. In standard guise the bell is symetrical and the clutch is operated by a
cable through the front of the case,
It looks like someone has chopped off the bulge, left it open at the side, and welded in a straight piece to make good on the mounting face

when you start this journey
you think it will be done in " no " time but then " no " turns into a " bloody " long time

Cast type 9 bell housing you can get for pennies!
Ali one's though are difficult to find on ebay, new they are about £200, i did get mine off ebay for about £90. the escort bell housing which
have 2 starter motor spaces will also fit
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!
