Please note that if you are using this kit with the Heavy Duty Pinto Clutch Cover and Organic Clutch Plate since this clutch is 10mm less in height you will need to order 2 x Hydraulic Release Bearing Kit Additional 5mm Shims. Please read the Fitting Instructions for more information and before final build.
You may also need the spigot bearing that fits directly in the end of the crankshaft.

Options
** The quick release option allows quicker gearbox removal and fitting by moving the 4 internal gearbox to bellhousing bolts to the outside of the gearbox. This allows the gearbox to be removed whilst leaving the bellhousing in place, making a difficult job much easier.
If you do not specify the quick release option you will need 4 of 12mm x 1 1/2mm pitch cap head screws, which are fitted from the front of the gearbox .
Supplied with a recess machined in the gearbox end of the bellhousing to accommodate the layshaft boss found on some heavy duty Type 9 gearboxes. Fitted with layshaft retaining cap screw in cases where this recess is not needed.
Requires that the original tube where the thrust bearing slid needs cutting off leaving only the part that houses the oil seal.
