Hi all major problems my gearbox has broke on my beloved p100.will a sierra 2.3 diesel fit my 1.8 td.if so will there be any diffences thanks jack

 

Think so mate,aren't they both type 9 boxes?
Pretty sure all ford boxes bolt up to all ford engines.

 

bellhousings and starter are different 2.3 is a pug engine

everything else will swop over provided you have the donor car

 

Well I've got my old gearbox for the bell housing what do toy mean by starter.The sierra is in a scrapyard.

 

i *think* you can put a normal petrol non V6 type 9 onto the TD bellhousing and will bolt up perfect and obviousley retain your TD specific starter etc!

from memory,
bellhousing is different shape and doesnt bolt on
input shaft on gearbox of 2.3 is longer than 1.8TD one
starter motor is in different place on 2.3 than a 1.8TD one

2.3d bellhousing (gearbox end is from another make, not ford g/box)

 

Yeah the 2.3 is a Pug XD2, there was a turbo charged version called the XD2s. Terrible engine infact.

 

theres a few p100`s breaking on ebay.

wont cost you anything to message them to find out cost of correct gearbox

Thanks for all your help.will need a Ford one then.i hae contacted those ones from eBay but they are so far away.

 

Use Paisley Freight they're cheap for delivery

 

Just spoken to a gearbox specialist he says the bell housing is diffent.but the shaft is the same can anyone shed any light on this please!

 

Anybody??

 

1.8td is different length to the 2.3 one, but the same as any non V6 petrol

 

You're better off sticking a 1.8 back in it, the 2.3 was awful and goes through fuel likes it's going out of fashion. The 1.8 is faster too

 

True its just I cant get hold of a 1.8 gearbox.i can only get a 2.3 from a nearby scrappy.any more info would be great

 

i wouldnt do it with a 2.3 box as the ratios are horrid

unless you get the complete gearbox, machine the input shaft, play with clutch drive plate combinations, fit the 2.3 starter and wiring for the relocated starter motor, and clutch cable assembleys etc.

i would check the propshaft splines before you get the 2.3 aswell

it just isnt worth it in me eyes

if it just boils down to not wanting to spend Ł150 delivered
on the correct box then say so (i messaged a few people on ebay and 2 were this price)

 

Thanks mate will wait for a gearbox
