If I were to change my 4 speed GT 'box for a 9 speed type 9 (short input shaft), how much would I need to reduce the length of the propshaft by if I wanted to keep the engine in the same position? (I'm aware I need to change the 'box end of the prop too).

Alternatively, what's the difference in the gearbox lengths? I've tried searching but can't seem to find the answer.

Cheers

You would need to swop propshafts as the type 9 has a different input into the gearbox.

Do you know anybody who wants to buy a locost?

So far I've found:

Type 9 = 760mm

Anybody know the lentgh of a type 2 (escort 4 spd)?

Cheers

ive just measured my type e 4speed box total length from begining of input shaft to end of outputshaft is between 790mm/800mm i belive they are the same as rocket cause thats wot we replaced it with

Thanks a lot for the help.

For the record I've just managed to measure both types (on cars so not 100% accurate)

Type 2: 700mm

Type 9: 780-790mm
