Here’s a brilliant Type 9 article that I found a couple of years ago, I can’t seem to find the original link so I hope its OK to put this on here. It looks like the article is originally from Retro Cars Magazine and it covers the Ford Type 9 gearbox in detail from identifying different versions, to overhauling it. I found it very informative.

We’re at the stage of gathering parts, ready for the rebuild in the summer. So far we have a Rover 200 Vi (more info to follow) and this lovely Ford type 9 gearbox. Its a recon box from a 2.8 V6 Capri, we’re unsure of the mileage but it looks to be in good condition. It has the long input shaft, so we will be getting the bellhousing from Titan Motorsport later in the year. We have to modify the front x-member and create a hole for the new gear stick to come through as it sits slightly further back behind the original.
