Anyone have a link to an online manual for the Type 9 box? I'm having a job trying to figure out how to get the layshaft out.

Can't help with anything on-line, but I have seen a Haynes manual for gearboxes that includes the Type 9 - it was in my local library.

i bought a haynes for a v6 sierra (pink cover) which has full schematics and assembly/disassembly instructions for the type9 box.

Ned.

try a sierra manual, has quite a good guide, but there is a dedicated gbox guide for thr type 9 and the prev one. I p/copied from the local big library, they often have manuals on reference out back, you may have to ask for it.

My sierra haynes manual doesn't appear to have a diagram of the type 9 - was it called something else as well?

Thanks guys. I still haven't got the bastard apart so I'm going to have to look into these options. A mate has the green sierra manual (mine is blue) so I'll see if that has anything if not I'll look on ebay for the v6 manual or a dedicated gearbox manual.

Hi Andy,

If you don't have any luck with your mates manual let me know - I can scan the relevant pages from the Haynes Gearbox manual and send them to you in PDF form.

My blue manual for the 82 to 89 Sierra sohc and cvh has diagrams and disassembly instructions on p171 under manual gearbox for type A,B,C and type N which is the type 9.

Whack the cast iron box with a 14lb persuader and... hey presto you can pick the shaft up out of the debris...
