Type 9 ratios
Does anyone know if the ratios in a type 9 gearbox from a diesel are any different to the petrol? If so what are they? Is there any identification
like on the diff? letters etc.

V6 ratios are slightly different with a longer 1st gear. Think all the others are the same and the gearing is modified by fitting different diffs...

There's also a 'van' version with very low ratios, i.e. 3.91, 2.29, 1.4, 1.0, 0.82. If your box came from a diesel version it may
very well have these ratios......

which actually aren't that bad if you ignore first.
A lot of racers use 2.4 to 2.2 as first gear - the only problem being the sort of power you'd need to use the ratio would probably kill the box

Bell housing and first motion shaft may be longer.
