Title: 24v manual gearbox bellhousing problemo
Post by mazzy_j on Apr 8^th, 2007, 5:46pm

hi all, now iv got a couple of free minutes iv started to make some progress with swapping the diesel (mt75) bellhousing to the sierra one ready to be put in my cossie 8)

Got the old one off ok, the problem is i cant get the new bellhousing to mate up to the gearbox its self. All the bolt holes and the 2 locating pins line up, it just wont push back the last inch.

Is there a technique in getting it to go back together or a special tool i need to get my hands on?

thanks, Matt

hi the gearbox is out of the car, the problem is getting the new bellhousing to go flush against the other half of the gearbox (which contains the cogs).
