late spec xr4x4 and cosworth 4x4 both use the same MT75 box. The cosworth was never fitted with a type 9 box

XR4i was a type 9
XR4X4 was a 4wd mt75
2WD cossie was a T5

if you are using a V8 then go for the T5

XR4i box is as a type 9 casing, it has a longer input shaft so required a diffent belhousing to the I4 type 9 gearbox and a different set of gear ratios. This is the box you will find in your average caterham.

The normal 4 cylinder Sierra with a Pinto engine (i.e. not DOHC) had a type9 RWD box.

The 2.8 XR4I, 2.8 Capri, Granada 2.4 & 2.8 manual are all V6 RWD with a type 9, this one however has a longer input shaft to work with a V6 and is stronger. This is the gearbox with it's belhousing that people use with the V8s (or as said befor, a T5).

The Sierra XR4x4 2.8 V6 uses a special 4WD version of the type9 i.e. has an output shaft that comes out of the back AND one out of the front that goes through the sump into a diff then out to the front wheels.

The Sierra XR4x4 2.9 uses a special 4WD version of the MT75 that generally has the bellhousing integral to the box, this then does the same as the 2.8 regards the diff ect..

It's best to find out what car the gearbox came out of.

If you go into the Google serch engine and type : type 9 gearbox : then click on 'view imeges' you'll find lots of pictures.
