Two things to remember:

1. You'll have mix-n-match clutch components;

2. Bolts from g/box to engine block are UNC, and those from block to g/box are metric.

Apart from that, it's dead easy (it's what I've got).

rgds,

I've been told the clutch to use is from an early 1600 pinto, and if you are doing the same as me and using an alloy bellhousing you will need to re-drill the starter bolt holes in the sandwich plate.

Or use the sandwich plate to match the bell housing!! Hope this helps. Rusty.

Very easy swap!!. just remember that it is a slightly longer box so the mount is further back. The splines in/for the clutch are of a different number to the 4 speed.
