There seems to be an impasse as to whether "bell housing" (two words) is the preferred term, or if "bellhousing" is correct (pls. refer to [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/index.php?title=Transmission_holding_fixtures&action=history History]).
 
 
In 'researching' this, I determined- by doing a simple Wikipedia search for 'transmission bellhousing' (3,320,000 results) and 'transmission bell housing' (1,100,000 results, both as of 02-09-12 @ 8 PM)- that 'bellhousing' as one word was the preferred term. Oddly, using just the term 'bellhousing' as opposed to 'bell housing' revealed much fewer results for 'bellhousing'- but the results for 'bell housing' also included (by the majority) results containing 'bellhousing'.
 
 
In further looking into this, I found the following using 'bellhousing' exclusively:
 
 
Summit
 
 
Jegs
 
 
McLeod
 
 
Ford Racing
 
 
GMPP
 
 
Moroso
 
 
J.W. Performance Transmission
 
 
Lakewood
 
 
Quick Time
 
 
Reid
 
 
Steeda
 
 
TCI
 
 
At this point I ended further searches.
 
 
Previously I edited the text to how it was originally- text that included the single word 'bellhousing' that had been used by both members Neighbors and cobalt327 at separate edits/times. When I made my edit, I included the reasons for my edit in a "Comment" that is seen when viewed in the edit window.
 
 
I would appreciate it if a determination would be made on the preferred terminology for bell/housing.

:I'm not finding a clear answer either way. Some words or phrases have multiple acceptable spellings, and it looks like this is one of them. Same with rearend or "rear end".--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 19:43, 9 February 2012 (MST)
