The Ford Type-9 five speed gearbox (also referred to as a ‘Type N’ gearbox in some workshop manuals) was Ford’s first RWD five speed box and was an original fitment in the:
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
Today, it is commonly used for five speed conversions on older vehicles. However, it is not just suitable for classic Fords, but also for other classic makes such as MG and Triumph as well as for kit cars.
Burton has just taken delivery of a batch of these gearboxes that have been reconditioned using the GBT9200 long first gear conversion kit to Ford original equipment standards. 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 kit includes a brand new mainshaft first gear and a repurposed layshaft cluster that has been modified and fitted with the new first gear.
The Burton Type-9 gearbox with long first gear can be ordered as part number GBT9160 at £2,040.00 inc. VAT as an outright sale with no exchange required.
