Which Type 9?
Looking at the Haynes manual different ages and models of fords require different amounts of oil in the gearbox. I bought my type 9 with no donor
attached, how do I know how much oil to put in...?

Simple (when you know how...) Just fill ti up until it dribbles out of the filler plug

Dont worry about that bit, I didn't.
Of if you are really concerend about getting it exact, make your self a little dipstick.
This will be assuming that the gearbox is in EXACTLY the same orientation the the donor vehicle of course...

i made a dipstick from some of the thick red wire from the sierra loom, but even then stuck a bit extra oil in for good measure.
i can't get to the g/box filler plug in the indy, so filled the box from the top. pulled some real shitty oil out first, akin to black
treacle.

Right-angle ended Allen keys make good dip-sticks. If you select the right one then you get the level right.
Enjoy.
