RS2000 clutch fork and bearing Vs Sierra?
TrophyJem - 30/1/14 at 01:50 PM

I'm just ordering a bellhousing from RWD (Duratec to type 9) and I notice that they say that it requires the RS2000 clutch fork and RS2000 clutch release bearing. I currently have the Sierra version of these (Pinto to type 9) and I was wondering if there are actually any differences?

Hoping I can save a few bob.

There are at least 3 different clutch forks, Can't remember where I saw it but there is possibly a post on here somewhere showing all three.As to you needing which I can't help

That's brilliant. Thank you!

The clutch levers are exactly as shown in Snappers post.

Would like to add that the same bearing fits all 3 but there are several different bearing depths and the one you require is dependant upon your flywheel, clutch and bellhousing combo. Get it wrong (too short) and the clutch may not disengage fully or (too long) and the bearing will be putting excessive preload on the clutch which may cause slip eventually but will wear your crank thrusts prematurely.

So looking at those pics I am guessing the sierra one will work? Have you seen the comments around re moving the pivot point with the rwd cable bell housing?

You can extend the pivot pin, I know GBS do one for the Zetec to Type9
With the pivot and the 2 types of thrust bearing (1 is 8mm deeper) and a manual clutch cable you should be able to set it up well

Thanks for the replies guys.
Sounds like I'm going to have fun getting this right. I was hoping that it was going to be simple.

Turbosports forum put Duratecs on Type 9's and know your bellhousing well
They may have a bespoke solution
