This is probably one for TT as I think he knows the ratios off by heart
From memory and a few notes taken at the time;
"There are several versions of the manual type 9 box depending on model and intended market.
* All 4 cylinder except 2.0inj and DOHC
* 2.0inj and 2.3V6 - All V6 have longer first motion shaft
* XR4i (rwd) 2.8 same as Capri 2.8i
* XR4x4 2.8 same as MK2&3 Granada but with 4wd system in tailshaft housing.
* XR4x4 2.9 ??! - is all I have on this one so probably didn't encounter one.
* All V6 and DOHC from mid 1989 replaced with the new Manual type 7."
The above needs confirming and as I can no longer log onto the Ford network I can't check this is totally correct. Also how you identify a box you buy S/H without the designation tag is anyones guess.
Not all had different ratio's some model designations maybe related to other changes, i.e. bearings or material spec. etc.
Brian Hill at BGH Gearteck maybe able to shed some light?
