Re: clutch
I think the difference is that the pinto 5 speed boxes have a longer input shaft compared to the 2.8 box but the spline amounts are the same

That`s correct, splines are the same.Re: clutch
Hi Chris,
The quick answer to your question: I don’t know.
However, I do know that the 4-speed Type B box and the 5-speed T9 box, we replaced it with, have the same number of splines on the input shaft, i.e., 23 splines.
According to the info that I have the differences occur in the length and the number of teeth on the input shaft gear.
- There are basically three input shaft lengths,
(i) “The four-cylinder shaft is 175mm long and ends flush with the bellhousing…
(ii) … V6 ones stick out.”, so obviously they’re a bit longer than the four-cyl. ones.
(iii) Certain Transit vans also had a T9 gearbox with a shaft length of 195mm
Counting the number of teeth on the input gear inside the box should also help you to determine where your gearbox is from.
A 2.8 gearbox should have 19 teeth: the boxes from, 2.3; four cylinder and diesel vehicles will have 18 teeth.
All the best - stay safe
