check out the burton power website they have a load of gearbox jibberish

 

 

Ford’s first RWD 5 speed box, based on the Type E.

Cast iron maincase with alloy tail housing.

This gearbox is commonly used for 5 speed conversions on older vehicles. Some later versions were available with integral bellhousings, although they are more commonly found with removable bellhousings.

A 4wd version of this box was also available for the early XR4x4 models.

1” x 23 spline input shaft. Fitted in:

 

Capri 1.6/2.0 02/83 on

Capri 2.8 11/82 on

Sierra 1.6/1.8/2.0 to 12/88

Sierra XR4i

Sierra XR4x4 2.8

Oil capacity: 2wd 1.9 litres, 4wd 1.25 litres (plus 0.5 litres in transfer box).

Standard oil grade 75W90 semi-synthetic.

No RS2000 ever came with a type 9 so it's gonna be either a sierra or capri box, the RS2000 also had the larger input shaft as it used a 2.0 cortina gearbox. Or do you meen shorter ? )

The only type 9 i can think of with a smaller input shaft than a 2.0 is the very early 1.6 sierra that used a smaller 1.6 clutch but was dropped after 6 months or so cos they simply couldn't handle the power of the GT spec 1.6 so after that all 1.6 5 speeds are the same as 2.0/1.8 ect

Sorry can't help on the RS prop

Well im sure that the 1.6 T9 has a different spline and the RS2 prop wont fit it so they should narrow it down a bit, as for any 2.8 box or v6 variant the tip of the input shafts are longer and wont fit without some modifying with an angle grinder, options are now.......

2.oltr capri laser or similar

2.8ltr Si erra or capri or variant with a modded input shaft
