Bell housing!

[Mr Tank]

Hi Hope you all had a good Christmas

After much trouble with my clutch this year, I really need a later bell housing for my 4.5 any ideas?

What year did they start putting the later Bellhousings on from on the 4.5s ? or did they use what was in the parts bin at the time hehehe

what is the diffrence?

The difference is size internally, the later clutch is bigger and wiil not fit inside the smaller early bell housing!

That's my problem, when I had my flywheel/ring gear problem early this year I automatically changed the clutch and slave cylinder as a matter of course! To find that the later clutch (That's all you can get now) would not fit inside the bell housing. I have got round the problem by making one clutch out of two but really need to get the later bell housing so I can fit the later/better clutch!

It's actually more than that. It is also the external bolt pattern and the slave cylinder setup.
