Burton Power is pleased to announce it can now offer Ford Type 9 Five Speed Gearboxes (also referred to as a ‘Type N’ gearbox in some workshop manuals) with either original gear ratios or a 2.98:1 ‘long’ first gear.
The complete gearboxes have been reconditioned to Ford O.E. Standards with either 3.65/1.97/1.37/1:1/0.82 gear ratios or a ‘long’ first gear using the GBT9200 conversion kit. This partial gear kit is designed to lower the ratio of first gear from a short 3.65:1 to a much more useable 2.98:1. The upgrade includes a brand new mainshaft first gear and a used layshaft cluster that has been modified to work with the new first gear. The remaining gears are as original. The gear ratios are: 2.98/1.97/1.37/1:1/0.82.
The gearbox is intended for use in:
• Ford Capri Mk3 1.6/2.0 02/1983-1986
• Ford Granada Mk2 1983-1985
• Ford Granada/Scorpio Mk3 1985-1988
• Ford Sierra 1.6/1.8/2.0 1983-1988
• Ford Transit Mk3 1985-1988
