1.6 4 speed Clutch

Post by Toxcity »

Hello all,

My clutch has gone pop and so I'm on the look out for a new one. I'm surprised by how many different variants there are!

I've got a 1983 1.6 LS with a 4speed. What clutch do I need?
Thanks in advance.

If you've got the type 3 gearbox, which I'm 90% certain you do, you want the clutch with a 20 spline centre.

Brilliant! 20 splines seem to be the rarer option. Thanks!

This looks like the one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-CORTINA- ... SwkZhWS1fc

Shout at me if it's wrong.

I'd go with 20 spline as well.

So where have you been for five years ;)

5 years? Has it really been that long? Moving back here from CapriPower... this site seems more relaxed. :)
