Default A question for TT I think!

Is there a difference between clutch release arms for 4 and 6 cylinder type 9 gearboxes? I have a V6 gearbox with a caterham spacer and a 4 cylinder bellhousing. I'm assuming that the V6 arm is different to take account of the longer input shaft? Now I've used the spacer, the input shaft is effectively the same length as a standard 4 cylinder one, so I think I need a 4 cylinder arm? If so, does anyone have one laying about that they can sell me?

Cheers Adrian

Hi Adrian, bit of a cheeky question I know but I have a four pot type 9 and a V6 motor, you have a four pot motor with a V6 type 9. Any chance you'd be interested in a straight swap? No probs if you're not interested but it might be a solution for both of us.

Dave

Are you talking clutch arm or gearbox?

I got the gearbox on purpose because of the better ratio first gear, so I'd like to keep it, but if you want to swap arms, then probably yes!

Cheers

Hi Adrian, no I was talking the box itself as it turns out I got a four cylinder one instead of the V6 version to go with my Cossie V6. No worries if you want to keep the V6 box. I need to keep my release arm or I'll be in the same boat as you are now.

Thanks anyway, D.

There is more than one arm listed, LHD and RHD differ but I can only find details of Pinto, CVH and Lima units. The catalouge is unclear. Never heard of a difference though..

Excluding Sierra Diesel and transit, then there are two type 9 release arms, one for the V6 and one for the 4 pot. The LHD ones have a slightly different part number but they are essentially the same - it's the bellhousing that differs.
In addition the 4 speed from the 2.0 cortina and some capri's is similar.
Burton perfomance have new ones if you get desparate.
