Type 9 and MT75??
I'm looking for a gearbox to mate up with a 1.8 Zetec.
which one would i need? what is the difference? is it true that the MT75 will bolt straight on without a bell housing as it has a build in one? The Type 9 i have been told will need a bell housing which one or from what car?? Sorry so many questions Any help will be greatly appreciated Dean |

I thought Ford used a standard bolt pattern on their engines and gearboxes up til the Duratec as this is a mazda engine.
Anyway useful links below. http://www.zetecinside.com/xr2/gearbox.shtml http://www.number69.net/stylus/zetec_resources.htm |

The type 9 has a removable bellhousing. The MT75 has a integral bellhousing. Both bolt patterns are the same. All ford bellhousings fit ford engines.
So to answer your question, both the Type9 and the MT75 go onto a zetec as standard. I think the type 9 is better suited to a kitcar due to its size and its popularity means performance parts and upgrades are easy to source. |

The bellhousing that it comes with will fit,unless you buy a performance unit from say BGH then no bellhousing incl.

That's not true, The V6 and 4-Pot are not the same, and the SEa Duratec V6 is not the same either. TT

Yes that looks like the granny 4cyl box and it will bolt straight up. There are only 5 bolts that hold it to the engine. None are below the sump.
ive chopped lots of metal of the bottom of mine for extra ground clearance.

Type 9 and MT75 will fit the Zetec, some flywheel and starter motor issues with the Type 9.
Type 9 has better ratios, MT75 is stronger but only for engines over 175 bhp. Type 9 should have a bellhousing with it if not don't buy. You can fit the Cosworth T5, the best ratios but big. The V6 Type 9 will fit with a 40mm spacer between gearbox and a 4 pot bell housing and has better ratios than all the boxes exept the T5. I know because I have fitted the V6 box to a Pinto Last edited by snapper : 13th August 2010 at 04:56 PM. Reason: Edit mistake |
