Raizer Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Or if its a twin cam or cosworth then its the stronger MT75 gearbox! Its got the same bellhousing pattern so no need to worry aswellPure Unless its a pre 1990 Cosworth, then its the T5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah BW, then TREMEC. They used the Mustang spec T5 at first, but they had to make a different gear set to cope with the high revs of the YB. I don't think Cosworth cars ever had a RWD MT75 box though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismo.capri Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 hey i know this is a old post how dose one tell if a 5 speed is a type 9 or are they all type 9 boxs in the serria thanks If its in a Pinto powered Sierra its pretty much a given its a T9. Shifter will be held on with 3 torx bolts. Or if its a twin cam or cosworth then its the stronger MT75 gearbox! Its got the same bellhousing pattern so no need to worry aswell Pure Are you sure the twin cam 8 valve was the same bell housing? ...I got offered a sierra GXL with one in today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I thought the bellhousing on the mt was way bigger. A quick google image would tell. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Same pattern but I think you have to space the release bearing out a bit to reach the clutch on a pinto, I think the difference is the I4 flywheel is a lot thicker and doesn't fit the pinto crank.

nismo.capri Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Finally had a chance to do some research Info cut from: http://passionford.com/forum/technical- ... -mt75.html I need a little help working out how to fit my MT75 gearbox to my 2.0 pinto engine. The box itself fits to the engine fine but its the clutch, flywheel and starter motor that is causing me problems. You see the starter that came with the box is from a Sierra DOHC and does not reach the Pintos flywheel. Also the flywheel on the Pinto is not as thick as the one on the Sierra so I'm a bit worried about what cluch I should be using. You have to space the thrustbearing(right word?) 15mm, or you can use the arm from a 2.8 v6 I went and compared both the flywheels (over an hours drive) and found they can't be swopped around. So I'll fit a standard Pinto clutch and flywheel and do what you suggest and space off the thrust bearing. It has come to my attention that you'll need the arm from a type 9 4-speed. I will check this, since this is new to me from: http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.c ... read=84351 a type 9 fits an escort without a bigger tunnel, an MT75 will not no mt75 has a removeable bellhousing, the sliding jonit is only to allow easy removel it has a lock nut to hold it once fitted. the transit mt 75 is a completely different box. the mt 75 has manual speedo drive & an elec speed sensor. mt 75 is only fitted to twincam & V6 4x4 mk2 sierra's the cvh & ohc allways used the type 9 & the 1.8 td uses a V6 type 9 with different ratio's the 4cyl boxs use the same bolt pattern but to fit a type 9 to a twincam requires a 10mm spaceing between eng & box ,& stater & box. only type 9 equiped mk3 granada's had an elec speedo drive. & newer transits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
