Hi everyone,

I need a little help working out how to fit my MT75 gearbox to my 2.0 pinto engine.

The box itself fits to the engine fine but its the clutch, flywheel and starter motor that is causing me problems.

You see the starter that came with the box is from a Sierra DOHC and does not reach the Pintos flywheel.

Also the flywheel on the Pinto is not as thick as the one on the Sierra so I'm a bit worried about what cluch I should be using.

As the MT75 is a better box than the type 9 and easier to get hold of I'm sure a lot of people have or are ging to end up taking this route.

If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.

Po79.

 

Hi.

You have to space the thrustbearing(right word?) 15mm, or you can use the arm from a 2.8 v6

 

Thanks Kverna,

I went and compared both the flywheels (over an hours drive) and found they can't be swopped around.

So I'll fit a standard Pinto clutch and flywheel and do what you suggest and space off the thrust bearing.

Thanks again, Po79.

 

It has come to my attention that you'll need the arm from a type 9 4-speed. I will check this, since this is new to me
