Ford Type 3 Gearbox and related bits-n-bobs for sale.

Has really good close ratios, has a much better 1st gear ratio than the type 9 I've just fitted. Lighter than a type 9 too. was half thinking about putting it back in - but know never to take a step backwards

I will try to look-up / measure the ratios if anybody is interested.

I have no history for it other than it was fitted to my 1989 westfield when I bought it last year. Previous owner said he had seen some problems with down-shift into 2nd. Not sure I ever did, but may be I didn't drive it hard enough or long enough to see them. Other than that, seems OK, smooth to turn.

Seen them advertised for silly money on flea-bay Ford 4 Speed type 3 Gear Box and Bellhousing on eBay (end time 11-Nov-10 12:07:59 GMT) but don't expect to get that much - Make me an offer ?


Type 3 Burton Link



Matching iron Bell housing. Was Fitted to Zetec black top, so "standard" Ford pattern.
- £10



Matching Propshaft.
7/8" x 20 spline for gearbox and output for old Ford Escort diff. UJs all smooth turning.
£50

Propshaft


Prop End


Prop end


Helix Motorsport Clutch
215mm diameter, friction material 7.5mm (compresses to 7.2mm when you squeeze the springy inner plates together)
Only done a few 100 miles (as far as I know)
(I got an identical one but with splines for type 9 gearbox and that cost about £85)
£40




This was all removed from my Westfield when we "upgraded" to a Type-9 gearbox this summer.

Prefer collection from Hinckley( between Leicester / Coventry , near to Mallory Park). Or will try to help deliver/meet if it helps. Have friends in Oxford, York and Letchworth if that helps.

All prices open to negotiation.

cheers
Tim.

Sorry, I guess I didn't write the advert very well:

The clutch plate for sale is a 20 spline x 7/8th inch input to suite the Type 3 gearbox.

I believe it is this : Performance Clutches

The one I am selling will not fit a type 9 gearbox. I only mentioned the type 9 clutch to give an indication of price new.

Cheers
Tim.

Hi Tim,

Is the clutch still available?

Cheers

Hey Tim, I think I may be having a brain fade -- the transmission mounting face is similar to a type 9, not a T5 as I'd originally thought.

Sorry Ted
