The best option is to buy a Type 9 from a V6 Sierra or Cologne engine Capri and fit the longer 1st gear
V6 Type 9 ratios are better than the straight 4 variant and some of the stronger V6 box come with a larger layshaft bearing
got this info from sierra owners club.
the way i understand it, it should give better acceleration.
and has heavy duty bearings
[Type 9 (1.3-2.3)
1st 3.65
2nd 1.97
3rd 1.37
4th 1
5th 0.82
Type 9 (2.8 inc 4x4 )
1st 3.36
2nd 1.81 (this is the ratio that lets the 2.8 go over 60 in 2nd )
3rd 1.26
4th 1
5th 0.825
