Ford type 9 gearbox
Is this gearbox only fited to Sierras? What year/model? Are al the type 9 boxes with the same gear ratios?

Type 9
Sierras and Capri Lasers (Laser models were 5 speed)
Capri 2.8 models had a longer input shaft which needs either grinding down or a thicker spacer plate between engine and gearbox. However, the 2.8
gearboxes also had better ratios for seven-style cars

82-89, some transits had them too
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I think the transits had the gearshift in a different position (much closer to the bellhousing)

Easy way to check which gearbox a Sierra has is the position of reverse -
If it's below 5th (bottom right) then it's an MT75
If it's to the left of first (top left) then it's a Type 9

Granadas used them as well.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

This is a good tip
