Are the gearbox ratios from a 2.0ltr pinto type 9 box different to the gearbox ratios from a type 9 box that came from a 1.8 cvh?

A contender for the longest subject title i think

And the answer to your question...no afaik. The only difference would probably be in the fianl drive ratio..ie the diff ratio.

I stand to be corrected .....

As above if the 1600 and 2 litre were the same they ain't going to change them for the 1800.

I did a fair bit of research on this when I was starting off, as far as I could find out ALL type9's had the same ratio's

1st 3.65
2nd 1.97
3rd 1.37
4th 1
(5th) 0.82

not all the type 9's had the same ratios, but as far as I know all the 4 cylinder petrol ones did! certainly the XR4x4 with type 9 'box was different, closer ratios. Diesel 2.3 was different too.

Mine is a 3.92. Pressume this is the 1st gear ratio. It is on the metal tag on the back. I'm sure there are more than the two mentioned as well.

I think you're talking crossed purposes. afaik all 4 cylinder t9's had the same ratio's. the v6 type 9 with a longer input shaft had a longer first gear. the diesel and 4x4 and 3.92 you mention are prob the differences in the dif at the rear of the car.
