Type 9 (or Type N) is a gearbox from Ford that was used in Ford Capri 1.6, 2.0 1983 onwards, Capri 2.8 1982 onwards, Ford Sierra 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, Sierra XR4i and Sierra XR4x4 2.8. The Type 9 was Ford's first five speed, rear wheel drive gearbox and it's based on the four speed Type E gearbox. The Type 9 is a popular choice for five speed conversions of older cars and also for kit car builders since it comes with a separate bell housing so it can be easily swapped around. The gearbox has a one inch diameter 23 spline input shaft and the main gear housing is cast iron with an alloy tail casing.
