Title: A quick Question
Post by PJDavis on Aug 1^st, 2012, 10:07pm

What is the designated Manual Gearbox for the Scorpio range, is it with a Hydraulic clutch or cable? What size is the driven-plate? What do they usually go for in good condition? I'm asking for a pal, I prefer Auto-box because I'm an old-fart and wonder why one should move a silly-wee-stick to change gear! ;D

They are all MT75 type boxes

Hydraulic working a central thrust bearing

Think the clutch is a 1" shaft with 23 splines

Flywheel's, 2.0, 2.3 and TD use a dual mass flywheel (about £300 on its own), and im almost sure all 3 are the same. my cossie uses the standard type flywheel from a granada / sierra

Expect to pay around £100 - £200 for a box and the seal bearing kit should it need it is another £100

If you doing a hybrid like mine then they go for £300 +

You'll need the manual type box mount and the prop is longer then an autos to

Thanks Matt. I've a close mate that is doing a rally car. He needs the 'Box, I've got a Box-new dual mass fly-wheel, and clutch, he just needed to get the box designation.

the diesel and the later 2.3 are the strongest

you could well be correct with the 2.0 flywheel, just looked at clutch kits and they seem to be the 'normal' setup

My old '95 N reg had the MT75 gearbox, solid flywheel & the previous Granada clutch. They changed to the dual mass clutch/flywheel in early '96.....why ?....who knows ???
