Hi All. This is my first time using the site.
I am going to build a Locost from Aries. and i need to sort out a donor car. i have found a 89/90 (G) 1.8 LX Ford sierra going CHEAP. I know is has a CVH engine but What Gearbox Does it Have?
Help!!!

Type 9 5 speed or MT75 5 speed. Easy to tell if you look underneath.

You can also tell by looking where reverse is - left and forward means its a type 9 whilst right and back means MT75

Being that age, its highly likely to be an MT75

Now you've had the sensible answers .....

"A Ford one"



(been wanting to write that since i saw the question!)

from y sierra owning days, i would say it has a type 9 as the MT75 was only fitted to the 2.0 twin cam (DOHC) engine.

edited to add: only talking about 2wd
