oh dear

right need to find a clutch plate then

are the splines the same on the tranny box to the cosworth (escort) box? and diameter ?

[Guy88]

Most ford input shafts are the same splines if that helps

I think splines are the same

Not sure on the plate diameter thou

[OxtonyxO]

I feel a wally
got in at 1730 and started to get the gear box out
1830 gearbox sat on floor all ok
so whipped off the cover plate all looked fine
looked at the fly wheel and oh no two fly wheel bolts had come loose was just catching on friction plate
so a quick trip down halfrauds and some locktite
2100 all back together one working clutch and no gearbox noise

so morale of the story thread lock flywheel bolts

never mind no damage done this time

You are one exeedingly lucky bloke

@Guy, if you havent got any loctite on them bolts mate I strongly advise you to pull the box off and put some on

You are not as lucky as Tony All the shite you have been through with it proves that If that flywheel comes adrift at speed it will saw through the box (and probably your leg too ) like a knife through butter
