Type 9 fitting
When the tax runs out at the end of August I have a Type 9 to fit in place of the current 4 speed box. Does the spline on the front of the prop
currently fitted to the 4 speed fit onto the spline on the Type 9 box?

from memory i think they are the same splines (at least for the type E box) but the type 9 has a longer tail and will need a shorter propshaft

That is the input spline for the clutch not the output for the prop.
The Type E 4 speed (also known as rocket and RS2000 by some) is the same splines for the clutch and prop. The Type 9 is about 6mm longer,when I
changed I did not need a new prop. The mount for the type 9 is further back and lower. The Type 9 needs a longer speedo cable, possibly even a right
angle drive since its physically bigger.
Remember that the Type 9 is physically bigger than 4 speed boxes, depending on your chassis it may need changes.
Other 4 speed boxes are shorter with different splines front and back, you will need many different parts to change from one of these.
Don't forget that the Type 9 uses a different gear lever as well.
