Zetec 1.8 Blacktop with Type 9 Gearbox not Mating
The problem is, using the 1.8 blacktop flywheel and clutch cover, with a pinto friction plate, type 9 release bearing and a spigot bearing at the end of the crankshaft, the gearbox and the engine would not mate. Without the flywheel+friction plate and clutch cover it does, no problem at all. I've heard of re-drilling the 1.8 flywheel for a pinto clutch, but i'm only using the pressure plate of the pinto(which fits onto the input shaft from the transmission), and the clutch cover from the zetec. What am i doing wrong in this case? Pressure plate not aligned properly? There's still a distance of approximately 2cm between the engine and gearbox. Changing the release bearing to the CCT133 would help in this case? Considering buying it as most of the people recommend doing it.
Thanks
