I think you are wright Dave the early boxes for the 1300/1600 had a smaller o/p shaft

All type 9 have the 1" output shaft. Type E 4 speeds do also.

Only the 4 speed type 3 boxes had the 7/8 shaft.

There's a difference between "early" and "late" type-9's that went behind 4-pots. Early on the V6 type-9 had a tougher input shaft bearing than the 4-pot (bigger really). At some point this became the standard across the board for type-9's and so the later 4-pot boxes also had the bigger bearing. Makes no difference to the fitting but all else being equal a later box is better and will do more miles/handle more power before throwing in the towel.

I changed my 1600 for a 2000 and used same 5sp box- no probs. Both from c.1988. HTH, Brian
