atropine Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 can anyone tell me the actual ratios for sierra type9s.. 5th gear most important.. ive seen so much variation.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistro Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Off the top of my head so dont steal my car if it's wrong, but 5th is 0.89:1 and the other 4 are the same as escort type 2 boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atropine Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 i was told the first 4 were the same as cortina typeE boxes.. but theyre very similar to type2s anyways.. just 2nd and 3rd are a bit different i think.. as for 5ths.. ive heard .86, .83, .76, .83.. may of heard .89 and/or .79 but kinda lost track of all of these damn ratios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 unfortunately the type9 ratios arn't too flash... except for the type9 found in 5 speed capris which are better. quaife make a good ratio kit for the type9 you could fork out for one of those but the $$ probably arn't worth it. But type9's are cheap as chips which is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
