type 9 gearboxes

[MEXY867M]

is there a difference between a diesel type 9 gearbox and a petrol type 9 gearbox asking as have been lookin for a 5speed type 9 and have been offered one out of a diesel cheers for your advice peeps,

[LEONMEX]

i think they are the same other than the ratios mate?? but not 100%

I'm pretty sure the diesel ratios are all wrong for a petrol application, don't know about the physical fit of it.

On a transit the bell housing is different, it bolts off. I would think it's the same for cars. IIRC there is more than one ratio, but no idea how you tell one from another.

If I remember correctly the diesel one is the same as the V6 one ( inputshaft lenght) so it won't fit behind an OHC.

If you swap the bellhousing from a V6 its a straight fit to a Cologne engine.

yep

uses the longer input shaft, has crap ratios and uses a deeper bellhousing to clear the thicker flywheel

petrol, diesel... they both suck a big one when it comes to box design...stick with the 4 speed.

I'm in Kings Lynn and have a good pinto type 9 that I'm not using and need a diesel one for my p100 if anyone wants to do a swap
