Type 9 Replacement Options?

[speedtripledan]

Looking for ideas on replacement gearbox options, what choices are there? Not rx8 as ratios are no good

That will stand up to 253ft.lbs? Not many of the size and fitment of a type 9!

 

I'd look at a Quaife myself. Various options in H-shift or sequential... there are other makes like Sadev, ZF, Tractive... all available in ever-increasing budgets

The elite Il200/300 might not be a bad shout. Very compact box and good ratio selection. Not cheap though

MT75 solid and reliable, you change the internals.

Plenty of big power engines have used the Toyota Supra sourced 5 speed box. Also could consider the Getrag options in Jags and BMWs.

With decent type 9s getting thin on the ground and expensive i.m just looking at future options.

Rebuild Type 9 with different ratios. BGH did mine works great now i have long first and second, bigger bearings and mods to

oil delivery.

Was looking at bgh today, for the hd v6 version it's big money!

+1 for BGH.

As per your signature BHP costs money...

When I bought my E6 HD they did a discount for cash...but they are a long way from you to visit.

Brilliant box though.

The drag guys use the Toyota Supra box a lot, but it wont fit a ford directly

Burtons have a big range, big price as well.
