Type E and Type 3 gearbox ratios

Has anyone got the standard/usual ratios for these to hand - I've put my book with this kind of stuff in it in a safe place...........and I'm sure it'll come to me where that is any time now!

No, the BGH info doesn't tell you the standard ratios only the improved ones they fit (apart from the Type 9 for some reason)

Do these sound right to anyone......?

Type 3
3.337:1
1.995:1
1.418:1
1:1

Type E
3.651:1
1.968:1
1.368:1
1:1

As I under stand it the only production boxes for the 4 cylinder in line engines that were much different were the real 1600e/GT/lotus/2000e box and the 2 litre box as fitted to the MK1/2 RS2000 (also some Capris and 2 litre Cortinas).


There is a Capri club site somewhere hat gives more details.

I might add 2000e ratios are very worth having.
