Can you all just clarify this for me please. Type 9 is 4 speed from mk2 escorts??

I know the sierra 5 speed are mt75's

Im having a dim moment here i know..

The 5-speed in a OHC Sierra is also a type 9, the MT75 are in the DOHC Sierras'

type 9 is 5speed box from a sierra

as phoenix said above. I must learn to type faster!

Mk2 Escorts had a type 2 gearbox. Some early base model Sierras also had it .

At least 5 different basic types of manual gearbox were used in the Sierra -- that dosen't count 4x4 and V6 variartions

However most are either type 9 or MT75.

The Mk1/2 Escort used 4 different types but most ordinary Mk2 escort use the type 2 --- don't even consider using a Mk1 1100 or 1300 Escort box it won't stand any hammer externally it looks identical to a Mk2 Type 2 but is much weaker.

Interesting. how do u know which is which?? I have a mk2 ecort 4 speed whats that then? Type 2? What 5 speeds will fit a 1300 xflow

With the right clutch, *any* RWD ford gearbox will bolt straight up to a crossflow.

To mate a type 9 to xflo the trick is to use the 7.5"/190mm 23 spline clutch for Sierra 4speed and early 5 speed
