    Type 9 gearbox identification

    I have a type 9 gearbox for my mk1 escort, however I was wondering if anyone could help me identify which one it is and whether the bell housing is suitable for a x-flow.

    I can provide serial numbers and pictures of it helps

    Lots of info here,

    As said, different input shafts, different bell housings and different ratios. All have the same bellhousing bolt pattern to fit engine, unless it is a specific one for a different engine (duratec, zetec se, xe etc).

    Hello, could anyone identify this gearbox? Not sure where it came from, but possibly mk1 sierra or granada with pinto engine.

    Its 5 speed and bellhousing is solid unit with main gearbox body.

    I would call it a type 9 with integral bellhousing. Never seen one in person but I have heard about them and Burton mentions that in their gearbox guide.

    Unless you have the need to swap bellhousings, I see no issues with that version (that I know of, ratios unknown to me).
