AE86 gearbox??

[totta Crolla]

Hi, I am running a sierra type 9 'box.
Here is some info:
A bellhousing is available, Raw engineering do one but it is expensive and is likely to need modification. An RM sport one is what you need, I believe this can be used with both sizes of flywheel but is worth checking.
I know where a used RM bellhousing is for sale.
You will need to fit a different sized spigot bearing to the crank, use Raw engineering for this.
Use a Toyota clutch cover and an MGB clutch plate (200mm)
A modification will need to be done to the release bearing, boring out the Toyota one I think.
You will also need to modify the rear gearbox mount. I believe Gartrac can do this for you.
The propshaft will need to be fitted with a Ford end to fit the gearbox, this will mean a modified prop.
The gearlever hole will need a slight mod.

Is it worth it ? Type 9 gearboxes are ten a penny and quite strong. The only downside is that first gear is a little short in my opinion. I have a new Quaife type 9 ready to fit.......
2.8 capri boxes have better ratios but the input shaft is too long, this can be shortened quite easily.
