Is this a Type 9 from a V6? I'm interested if it is.

Many thanks, Bob.

Would your car not just totally shred a Type 9? (Probably even in neutral!!!) :lol:

In all seriousness, are there any more details? 4cyl or v6 Type 9? Whereabouts in the country is it?

I bought it intending to fit it to a 4 cylinder but never did and now I have sold the car. Not sure wheather it came from a 4 cylinder or V6 before. Is there any way in telling by looking at the box itself? I am in saffron walden, ESSEX

Hi,
The Type 9 from a V6 car has a longer input shaft which protrudes beyond the end of the bellhousing. The type 9 used in 4 cyl cars has a shorter input shaft.

As said, the input shaft protrudes the bell housing on a V6 gearbox. If there isn't a bell housing on it, measure from the front face of the main casing to the end of the input shaft, a 4 cylinder gearbox is about 142mm or approx 5 3/4" and a V6 gearbox is approx 175mm or 7"

Well this gearbox is for a 4 cylinder then as the input shaft does not protrude out of the bell housing. Thanks for your help on working that out!

HI ,

wish I had messaged you earlier..

I live in Hampshire but it was only wed visiting parents in herts by the A1m.
although I am embarking on the capri resto, I was thinking this for my kit car which is 4spd capri based. the box has seen better days & about 160K miles. this would be a spare for future upgrade. Hence ... do you have the gear lever to suit as I believe the later ones bolted in , as opposed to the earlier version with bug plastic thread. I presume comes with bell housing bolted on?

Hi,
I've Just joined this forum and seen the ad for the gearbox.
I see that member Roger is interested in it as a spare, but I am after one of these for my Cortina project, which does not currently have a gearbox, So on bended knee, I would ask if there was a possibility of obtaining it for the right money, unless he really wants it.
I live near Cambridge.
