hi
i've got a type 9 gearbox and assumed that i had a mk2 propshaft and also a sierra prop but neither will marry up with the spline in the gearbox, are there different types of spline or am i doing something wrong.
advice always much appreciated
regards paul

There is a master spline on the sierra prop , it will only fit in the correct location.

Depends on the box your using, some type 9's have different spline sizes. Ihave 2 litre 5 speed box, a 1.6 4 speed and a 1.3 4 speed and each prop is different.

All the bits , i'm told, came off a 1.6 gt escort, so i'm guessing the box is 1.6 4speed. just the 2 props that came with it dont fit. Do you reckon this could be a scrapyard fix or more specialist supply required.

Since neither a Mk2 Escort prop nor the Sierra one would have been any good in their stock form, you might as well get a prop built by one of the specialists. The prices quoted on here by various people who have had this done have been surprisingly reasonable (IMO anyway).

Don't forget a propshaft is probably one of the more dangerous parts of the car, if it fails their is virtually nothing between it and your legs.

Think i'd have to agree can anyone give me a ballpark figure and point me in the right direction to were i can source one.
