I.Mupferit Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Guy just remembered, we will need a 2 leg puller to remove the 5th gear. Sorry, it's been a while since I stripped a gearbox, the last one being a Ford 4 speed so I forgot about pulling the 5th gear off to get the spacer off. Do you know if Trevor has got one?

Guy Lowe Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Stop being an 🙆🏻 Newman 😬 Are you at home around mid day, if so can I come and pick up the puller 🤔 Also, is there a oil seal on the selector shaft, or can't you remember that far back Guy The ZETEC Conversion has begun here Picking up the ZETEC soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Norman, will I need an alignment tool ? Guy The ZETEC Conversion has begun here Picking up the ZETEC soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Well there was an oil seal on the 4 speed but I can't remember if there is on the 5 speed box or not - sorry. ☹️ I doubt it would need replacing even if there is. One other thing, have you bought a front oil seal and gasket for the input shaft as well?

I.Mupferit Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Guy, Given recent experiences, are you going to fit a new clutch when the Zetec goes in? You don't want to be starting off on a long blat, knowing the clutch is a bit iffy and have to risk changing it in the middle of a field somewhere. ☹️ Steves was obviously iffy but luckily he was able to sort it so he didn't end up with it failing while he was in France this summer. Better to be safe than sorry. Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV Reassuringly Expensive R 417.39 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozz Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Brent I though Zetec clutches were considered to be a 'consumable' much like CRB's and HG's on K series' 😬 Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil.cavanagh Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Brent... *thumbup* *thumbup* 😬 Very good point. Most fields (or Le Pasturé) are fairly ill equipped for changing a clutch... Certianly a good idea to sort it whilst SB lowe has the engine out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
