Hi,
I'm looking for a gearbox for my Zero kit; I'm going for the standard GBS 2.0 Zetec engine & see some options when getting hold of a recon gearbox;

Specifically there appear to be different input shaft lengths/splines.

Am I right in thinking I need an 18T short shaft input on the gearbox?


Many thanks;

Hi, if you are going for the MT75 you need a specific prop shaft which is available from GBS. The Type 9 box needs another prop shaft - I have one hardly used, since we converted from Pinto to Zetec + MT75 when our type 9 box packed in. Personally, I like the MT75 - it's much lighter and smoother in operation but no doubt there are many opinions on this. Cheers

Hi thanks,
I'm going for a Type 9

I'm going to pickup the propshaft from GBS,  its the input side - engine to gearbox I am not currently sure about.

The standard type9 and MT75 will fit straight on.
It's the longer input shaft of the V6 you don't want.
Both Type 9 and MT75 have the right bell housing bolt pattern, the V6 versions of both boxes don't

Great -  thank you.

Input shaft is 1" 23 teeth. Fits sierra 2.0l pinto clutch and most early mondeo clutches.
