Gearboxes again

Gearboxes again

2002-06-11 by a5h_pm

Hello again,
I keep coming back to this one, but does anyone know the length and 
ideally the mode/type of overdrive box used in the Ford 3 litre V6 
cars? As I have mentioned I am still sourcing a replacement for the 
gearbox which was attached to Ford 2 litre V4 engine - I pressume 
this was a Cortina 2000e box given that it is a hydraulic clutch as 
opposed to the cable clutch of the other models in that range?

any help much appreciated.

PS Dave Pilkington Glass number is 01884 35522 give me a mail off 
line if you need the other details.

Ashley,

Don't have the dimensions but mine (1971 Essex V6) has a Laycock LH Type
overdrive.  It was introduced in 1967 and used on 4 synchro MGBs', TVR,
Gilbern, Jaguar, Scimitar, and Ford Zephyr.  Check this site (it's in
Sheffield, Britain):

Good luck!
