Can anyone identify this?
I think it is a type 9, but other info contradicts this
 
Identify this
does anyone know for sure?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Type 2 , 3 or E. Type 9 has 3 bolts securing the gear lever, that one looks like a large nylon nut?

Shame, the whole lot is only £10 at the moment!

Have a look in the Burton catalog or on their website (I think) It shows all the identifing features of Ford gearboxes.
It looks like a type 2 if its got a integral bell housing

Definitely not a type 9. It's difficult to say without seeing a good side view, but my money would be on it being a type E.

or a type 3.

I have a couple of type 3 boxes in the garage (as defined by Burton power) but one has the escort style screw in gear lever and the other has 3 bolt
fixing, believed to be from a lotus cortina.
I pulled a Mk 3 Cortina Haynes out of the library just last week to read up on them to learn that old Mr Haynes calls boxes type C and type D and
from looking at pics what is in pic in first post is the type C from a Mk3 Cortina [closely related, if not seperated at birth] from Burtons type 3
Hope this doesn't add too much to the confusion!

Cant be 100% sure but it looks very very much like my type 5 I would almost put money on it. 99.9% sure it is though.

If the output shaft spline is the same as a Type 9 then it's a Type E (by Burtons terminology).

detachable bellhousing, holes in ally section before gear lever, screw in gear lever = (to me) same one I had. People thought mine was a type E (and
desirable) it was 'only' a type '3' due to the holes in ally section. Note this has its mounting a few inches closer to the
bellhousing than a type 9.
So, lots of versions of the truth, who's right?

The Type E casing looks very similar to a Type 9, quite flat sides with little in the way of strengthening ribs and has 1" input shaft.
The Type 3 has a much bulkier casting with very pronounced ribs and 7/8" input shaft. The box in the pictures does look more like a Type 3 than
a Type E to me.
