Have a search on here mate. Im using a type 9 from a deisel. I think the 2.3 deisel boxes have different bell housing. Also different gear
ratio's IIRC

I think you'll find that the input shaft spigot is also longer on the diesel box.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

Can't remember about the input shafts etc (pretty sure the 2.3 diesel has the same long input shaft and reinroced layshaft bearings etc as the
V6 boxes)
BUT!
if you can get a 2.3 diesel box cheap, have it! They have very nice reinforced selector forks in them (the std type 9 ones are prone to bending when
animalled) which I have used in my "normal" type 9.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

The main problem is the bellhousing. Where I live type 9 are really really rare and the only one I can get is from a diesel, but if the bell housing
does not match the zetec I'm afraid It's not an option.
Also if the input shaft is like the V6 (longer) i need to use an spacer

2.3d definately has a different bellhousing, the top bolt is central, rather than the usual two at either side on a 'normal' box. Guess
how i found out?

Danozeman, What starter did you use?
I have one from a 2l and it seems to have a different bolt pattern to the bell housing from the 1.8TD sierra type 9.
