Type 9 4 speed?

[Mark2Mark]

Anybody heard of one? the only Type 9's i have heard of are 5 speeders?

Aparrently from a 2.8 capri

Same as mate,i thought they were all 5 speeds too,the ones from the 2.8i capris are the ones to have though apparently,better ratios

[Mark2Mark]

Yeah i have heard that mate, i am considering a ZETEC in the mk2 and just trying to find out if this box is suitable? I don't really wan't to convert to 5 speed if i can help it

Early capri 2.8i's did have a 4 speed box, but I can't confirm that they were also type 9's

What does "Type 9" actually mean?

Sorry if that is a dumb question but i have limited knowledge when it comes to gearboxes

I have limited knowledge on everything so i will wait for an educated answer

type 9 was type of gearbox bit like pinto and xflow for an engine,its just an evolution of another box

4 speeder out of an early 2.8 is a type 5

I see, so apart from the input shaft needing a bit of modding anything else need doing to fit this to an 1800 ZETEC in a standard mk2 escort?

All V6 4 speed were type 5 (the bullet on steriods) its a good box in itself but not the sweetest changing 4 speeder and the reverse takes some getting used to.

 

all type 9s are 5 speeders.

Isn't a 4 speed Type 9 box a normal 5 speed where you have to pull off in second gear cos you've destroyed 1st?
