       Now petrol and diesel bell housings........
       6 cylinder are different to 4 cylinder petrol.
       Now the main thing im trying to work out  are 4 cylinder petrol
       and diesel bell housings different. Everyone says yes...I say NO
       as i tried it today. The spacings are different.
       Now the top hat clutch casings. Some have a d shape bottom to
       them and others have an extra protrusion  on one side of the
       bottom d shape. Im assuming early ones do not have it. ie series
       2, late series 2 and 2a have the lump... True????????
       Now i would like a DIESEL bellhousing does anyone have one
       spare???? Thanks guys!

       Diesel and petrol are interchangeable
       IOE (2.6 and 2ltr petrol) and OHV engine belhousings arent
       interchnagable
       OHV engine ones are (i.e 2.25d, 2.25 petrol, 2ltrd)
       There are other differences like bearing sizes, but in terms of
       stud pattern the 2.25's are all the same

       yes all the bellhousings can be swopped onto any box but im sure
       the stud patterns are different!
       today i got a cracked diesel bellhousing and it fitted onto a
       2.25 diesel. I tried a petrol bellhousing and it did nt fit. I
       also tried a s3 one which also fitted.
       So there must be several stud patterns................

       petrol and diesel, unless it is a petrol 6 pot, are
       interchangeable.
       That is why you don't get diesel or petrol gearboxes!
       series 2, 2a and 3 boxes will all fit 2 1/4 diesel or petrol
       engines (apart from 6 pots) as the stud spacing is the same.

       from memory, the non 6 pot has a stud in the centre at the top,
       the 6 pot is different, it has a stud either side of the
       vertical
       does this help?

       I concur
       what about 2.25/2.5 90/110 did they keep the series stud pattern
       or change to fit the later transmission - I guess the same by
       the fact the 2.5 and TDI etc go into a series

       1.6 and 2.0 petrol should be same as 6 pot maybe you have one
       from a rover car
       all 2.25 are the same as is the studs on the defender 2.5d and
       td
