anyone know how much longer the type nine box is compared to the old four speed fitted to the mk 4, 5, cortina. lynn

[chris n]

The difference between the two box is the sandwich plate between the maincase and the rear tail cone, some where around about an inch.

Theres a photo of a 4-speed box

[chris n]

And a photo of a 5-speed box.

 

Spot the difference

which one are you putting in the car

[Guest aussieexmo]

Hi Chris, On the five speed box or the four for that matter, how do I drain the oil when box is in car?I can see the filler plug but cant find the drain plug?

Thanks, Gordon

[Guest kenton]

Gordon there is no drain plug!!

If you put a thin tube in the level bung the oil can be sucked out with a syringe

[Guest lynn]

hi craig, if you go to chit chat rear axle "void bushes" you tell me LYNN

[Guest lynn]

craig, it may be one out of a scania 114, they have got one at our local fire station

[Guest lynn]

am i right in thinking that all the sieras right throughout the range ie 1.6 1.8 2.0 were fitted with either the type 9 or the mt75, if i use a type 9 are the input and output shafts the same size on all the boxes, many thanks

[Guest lynn]

ive been offered a type nine gearbox "five speed" out of a granada 2.0 ltr, can anyone please tell me if this will be compatible with 2.o ltr pinto, and mk 4 cortina 2.0 ltr back axle, and the best bit is its FREE, or did granadas not have the type 9 box. thanks again LYNN

[Guest rizla]

i think you will find the granada is a mt75 box

[Mitch]

depends on the year of Granada, if its a 2.0ltr SOHC and not the DOHC then it should be a type 9,

 

i would check my haynes manual, but someone whos building a Cobra pinched it last week

 

I think before 1989 should be type 9,

 

easy to tell T9 has a removeable bellhousing, MT75 has a cast ally casing

Type 9 box is fitted to 1.6 1.8 and 2.0 ltr SOHC Pinto models

 

MT75 box is fitted to the 2.0ltr DOHC models.
