What are the differences between a pre 83 091bellhousing and a 83-91 091 sideshift bellhousing? Are there any and are they interchangable. Same length? Thanks.

all the 6 rib bells r the same except for the ones with a hydraulic clutch from the factory and then the clutch throw out arm is the only differnce from what i have seen that is i run a 84 up bell with the factory slave cylinder and a neal master

the cross shaft is differrent,,but that is not what you asked is it?

whats the diference in cross shafts? I got a side shift vanagon trans but is has wrong bell housing. Its small has a very small cross shaft and no throwout bearing guide. I already have a kep adapter kit and i don,t want to get a bellhousing if it won,t work. Will a 3 rib bell work? I will buy or trade for a bellhousing. Thanks again.

I think the cross shaft is splined wrong , and so the arm is pointed in a different direction.

So will any bell work as long as i have correct starter and clutch assembly for the bell? This is an early bellhousing correct? Thanks again.
