- IN THIS VIDEO I CONTINUE THE STORY OF MAUDE'S FAULTY CLUTCH BY FITTING THE REPLACEMENT AND FITTING HER NEW HPE MOTORSPORT TYPE 9 GEARBOX!
THE GEARBOX IS SICK!!! AND MY OLD QUICKSHIFT NOW DOESNT NEED REPLACING AFTER I GAVE IT A QUICK STRIP DOWN AND SERVICE.
HOPEFULLY MAUDE WILL NOW BEHAVE HERSELF (I DOUBT IT) SO THAT I CAN CONCENTRATE ON THE MK1 FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

Marcus just a note to you my friend, just watched this again after a looong time, mate if you need any inspiration in life just watch your old early videos fella good times (11/03/2023)
Marcus Hayes, I love this bloke, Genuine nice bloke that has a real interest in Classic Fords and allows us all in to his world. Top Man, Love the vids, Keep em rolling Mr Hayes.
Thanks! :) Its quite overwhelming that so many people are actually interested in my obsession with my cars. I love making the vids and as long as people watch them, Ill keep making them. More vids coming very soon! :)
Marcus your vids are always worth watching, and first on my list. I can imagine Cat having a clean license and you having a few points !! :)
Thanks SD one! :) believe it or not Iv never had any points. . . . . but I did do a speed awareness course to prevent me getting points last year.
Nice job Marcus! You can actually hear how much better Maude sounds with that new gearbox, the HPE boys done a good job.
Thanks Cozziekid! Cant go wrong with HPE!
YES! MAUDE is alive again and even better than before, sounds like the power really stretches through all of the gears now and it looks a bit more lively Marcus, well worth the cost I bet.
Thanks Gary! :) The gearbox came to a few quid but because I bought the parts beforehand and then had to wait a couple of months to pick the gbox up it meant i didn't have to spend all the money in one go. I think it was well worth it! :D
Awesome mate glad it's put a smile on your face 😁 ps your escapades are never shit
Thanks Adam! :)
So much better with the longer 1st gear, enjoy it mate, well deserved 👍
Thanks Marty! :) The longer first gear is pukka!
Nice to see Maude up and Running hopefully the clutch plate will behaves itself
Thanks William! :) Fingers crossed!
The bearings are renowned for rattling , the cure is a grub screw in the side of the base/mount . Just drill and tap the base , no more rattling. Thanks for the content, I look forward to your exploits with maude and esther
Thanks for the advice! :) Iv heard of that trick. The shifter was very old and I thought it was time for a new one BUT spacing the spring with a washer worked a treat and it is a million times quieter now. :)
@@marcushayesford glad it's better 👍
She's a little flyr mate....... Till next one 😎🏴
Thanks James! :) She goes quite well for such a simple setup.
she goes really well, sweet !!!
Thanks Finley! :) She goes alright.
Keep up the great work and videos
Will do! :) Thanks Andy!
Good your back up and running, will look into to the long first gear....
Thanks Michael. Defo worth fitting the longer first gear and whilst its apart do the laygear bearing mod to make the gearbox a lot stronger. :)
Happy for ya son job done
Thanks! :)
nice one again Marcus.. Now the running gear is all sorted.. will you now think about any engine mods ? even if you get back the running gear bhp loss back its something.
Thanks rs2klee! :) Iv got lots of ideas of what to do next with Maude but right now I want to focus on the mk1. I doubt iv lost any bhp with the new gearbox. Its still a type 9 at the end of the day. The longer ratio would technically make the car accelerate slower to a point. I reckon from 0-20mph its a bit slower but now I dont need to shift at 20mph and when I do shift I drop right into the powerband of 2nd gear whereas before I would need to rev 1st gear way too high for that to happen (thus losing time) . . . It will be interesting to see how the new gbox does on the quarter mile but with Maudes sump leak and her worn LSD plates that might not happen anytime soon. She still puts a smile on my face everyday tho.
A lot better Marcus you must be well chuffed 😀 but what the ticking noise when u are in the car driving ?
Thanks! :) I'm so happy with the new gearbox! The ticking noise is the electric fuel pump in the boot. Much less annoying than the rattling quick shift was! :)
Marcus, love the bits as I have a mk2 Cortina I'm about to start as a project. I know you have the rx8 box conversion on your mk1 escort so wanted to know the cost of the "revamp" on the type 9 and ask if it is with changing my type 9 for the rx8 box or getting it sorted at HPE? Let me know and keep up the strong work #oldfordsforlife 👌
If you send a message to my facebook page Ill go through all the costs of both and I can even point u in the direction of some pages that will help u decide. facebook.com/marcushayesford
The gear shift seems mega smooth. Do you think you'll restore Maude to top spec like the Mk 1?
The gear shift is so much better! :) A couple of the syncros were changed during the rebuild. I doubt I will ever restore Maude properly but Ill do what's necessary to keep her roadworthy for as long as I can. She really needs her front end cut off to deal with some rust that has started to appear on the wing rails/inner wings. Ill get round to it eventually. :)
Yes your vids are never shit m8. Just thought I would second that....
Thanks Michael! :)
Hi mate nice videos as useual :) how much for ur old type 9 gearbox for my Capri ?
Thanks Jamie! :) Im probably going to keep the old type 9 as a spare. I got rid of a spare one years ago and then needed to buy another one to fit to Maude whilst I got this one re-built so I dont want to make that mistake again. It needs a full re-build anyway.
Too much grease on first motion shaft !
Thanks for the advice! 👍
