Differential and Transmission
)
I overhauled the differential and installed a set of 3.27 gears. Pictures are of the disassembly process and the completed job. Along with that I went through the transmission to make sure everything was in good shape. This also gave me a chance to clean everything really good. Parts were washed, bead blasted, painted and some clear coated to make cleaning easier. Driveline is in place and not going anywhere.
New Quick Time Bell Housing (2007)

A little safety is not much to ask for and I waited long enuogh. Finally, someone came out with a smaller, lighter and more efficient bell housing to replace the stock aluminum one.
I gave myself an early Christmas present last year (2006) and finally got around to installing it. The Quick Time bell housing was purchased from Fortes Parts Connection and Mike did a great job of making sure everything was included. A new block plate, new bolts (not metric) were included with the bell housing. I must say, this piece is really nice!
I removed the transmission, bell housing, clutch, flywheel and block plate. I pre-fit everything to make sure I didn't have issues. One thing I did was align the block plate to the bell housing to make sure holes lined up. I had to drill a few of the holes a little bigger to accept the bolts. The other thing was to check the fitment of the transmission to the new housing. Also, be sure to use the new centering ring before installing the transmission. The bolts are standard thread so you won't be using your old ones anymore.
The pictures above show the box, parts included and pictures during the install. I have to say this much, it gives you a lot more room to remove and replace the transmission due to the tapered effect the Quick Time bell housing has. That is very much appreciated by me!
