Type 9 Gearbox & Sierra Diff

 

Am I correct in my assumption of EP80 for the gearbox and EP90 for the diff?

 

Regards

I'm pretty certain that's what I have in mine.

 

HOWEVER, Haynes says 80 EP to ford spec SQM-2C 9008-A for a 5 speed T9 (Duckhams Hypoid 75W/90S) and Ford spec ESD-M,2C 175-A for the MT75 'box (Duckhams Uni-Matic)

 

For the diff - 90EP to Ford spec SQM-2C 9002-AA or 9003-AA (Duckhams Hypoid 90S)

 

Hope that means something to someone out there

Thanks for the info Robin. My neighbour, who has been in auto engineering for a long time said today that EP80 in the Type 9 may give problems in Winter. I may not be driving it that much in Winter anyway. Or at all, if current progress is anything to go by!
