Ozzy Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Posted on behalf of a friend. Can someone advise how much you need to trim the length of the input shaft by, to suit type 9 gearbox. Thanks, Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Howe Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 It just depends on the crankshaft end hole size/depth and the length of the first motion shaft end. You need to measure from the theroritcal line of the bell housing face to establish how much of the g/box shaft protrodes forward of that line and repeat the measuring from the same line to the recess in the c/shaft. Most likely, if you need to cut, it will be around 3/4" but do a search...there is bound to be a reference there.

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted June 11, 2008 Leadership Team Share Posted June 11, 2008 IIRC mine was 13mm! Fairly straightforward to work it out with a steel rule and some suitable straight-edges.
