Am I right in thinking that the 2.3 v6 type 9 gearbox has the same ratios as the standard sierra box, and it's only the 2.8 and 2.9 gearboxes
that have the shorter gearing? But the 2.3 does have the longer input shaft, requiring a spacer between gearbox and bellhousing if I want to use it
with a zetec engine?
Cheers

I didn't think there was a 2.3 V6? Prepared to stand corrected though!

2.3 V6 had the power of a 2L and the weight and fuel consumption of a 3L

I do indeed stand corrected
I thought the 2.3 was an Essex V6 and the 2.4 that went into the later granada's was a cologne?
cheers
2.3 definately cologne
The T9 ratios for the 2.3 V6 in a granada 2 were the same as the 2.0 (Pinto) engine :
3.65 : 1 (3.36)
1.97 : 1 (1.81)
1.37 : 1 (1.26)
1.00 : 1 (1.00)
0.816 : 1 (0.825)
The figures in brackets are for the 2.8 gearboxes
The Sierra seemed to fit the same T9 'box to all 4 pot engines (except the P100 vehicle) and the ratios are the same as the 2.0/2.3 above except
the 5th gear which is quoted as 0.82 : 1.
Sorry - I don't have figures for the V6 Sierra gearbox
The Granada 3/Scorpio fitted the same ratios as the 2.0/2.3 Granada 2 but the 2.8/2.9 T9 'boxes had the following:
3.36 : 1
1.81 : 1
1.26 : 1
1.00 : 1
0.825 : 1
All figures from Haynes
