Hi all im planning on removing my gearbox today to paint it and renew the oil seals as its leaking into the bell housing. Also hoping to buy a quickshift for it.The gear box is out of a 1.3 escort on an old s reg any ideas what type box it will be

Forgot to mention thats an old S reg

Did they call it a Type 4? It's going to be your standard issue 4 speed Ford box beloved of all smallish RWD Fords in the 70s and still pretty popular in older Caterham circles. Better ratios than the Type 9 apparently. Anyway, you'll know when you get it out!

Burton Performance have a photo of all Ford boxes in there catalogue and I think on the web site
