OK, the topic of "which slushbox goes on which tranny" has been done a few times now.
I'd like to know which years/models used which manual transmissions, and better still, some details about mounting, input shaft length, number of splines, bellhousing differences, and so on.
I'm trying to figure out which American transmissions can be bolted or adapted to the Aussie bellhousings.
Hopefully we can figure out an easy swap for all those buying crossflows and OHCs in the future.
Although I'm picking up the XB Cortina bellhousing for easy cable linkup, I'm interested in figuring out if the hydraulic 'bells can be retrofitted with a cable.
All information is appreciated, I'd like to take everyone's info (including past info on auto 'boxes and the x-flow swap) and turn it into a FAQ.
Also, anyone who has swapped from an X-flow to an OHC, please post!
Thanks!
Ben
