    4 speed type 2 gearbox

    I have a 1997 1600 Crossflow Super 7, with a 4 speed gearbox. The clutch needs replacing, so I thought as the 'box is rather clunky, to change this at the same time. Does anyone have a rebuilt standard one, or perhaps something a bit more upgraded - SC etc?

    My current box has an integral bellhousing (Type 2), so I would prefer to replace like for like, unless what you have has a suitable bellhousing that will require no further mods to the car etc.

    Thanks in advance.

    you wont find any upgrades for that gearbox unfortunately, its weak, which is why ford used type 3 and E in twincams and rs models. you would have to switch to one of them if want upgraded parts

    A SC gearset in a road car will eventually drive you nuts with the noise and actually SC gear teeth / gears are weaker than helical gears. The usual upgrade route is fit a Type 9 5 speed box if only for the overdrive 5th.
