just looking on ebay for replacement gearbox for my 1300 x flow , one is on offer but says it has a removable bell housing and comes off 1600 engine, will this fit my 1300 , thanks.

It Should do, does it say in the advert what type of gearbox it is? Is it a type 9 or the older 4 speed box?

Got an escort 4 speed box lying in the workshop gathering dust, take it away for a drink

Thanks Vi but I was looking a bit closer to home. I lent my spare box toa fellow competitor at Brands on Sunday, then my one went on the last lap! he will return it but when? also looking at changing the diff from 3.89 to 4.1 is this a simple job
