: Does anyone have any experience mating a 5-speed transmission (preferably one available at a wreckers yard from a Japanese car or from another Ford product) to the Cortina engine.
: My semi close ratio box (original)is pretty tired after 30 years of autocrossing.
Hi Steve, I would suggest a Ford Sierra 5 speed from a rwd model,
the bellhousing should mate up to the engine without
any hassles. Starter motor & hydraulic clutch mechanism may require
modification as will the gearshift location.
