Rallygroupb Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Hello, I am looking for a type 9 gearbox for Ford Capri 2.8i V6 as they have the best ratios according to the experts, but my question is if the Ford Granada 2.8i, its Type 9 gearbox has the same measurements and the same ratios as the of the ford capri. I know that the best of all is the getrag 265 but my budget is not that high at the moment. Thank you very much for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Be cautious of a type 9, they are only marginally stronger than a Getrag240. They do have better support for replacement internals to make them stronger, but you will expect to pay a lot for such a gearbox. what engine do you intend to mate it to?

Rallygroupb Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Right now I have an r25 waiting to be mounted, the engine I'm preparing is a z20let, the ratios of the r25 are quite bad and that's why I was looking for one with something better. thank you very much for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 A good option might be adapter plate and RX8 5speed box, or bmw ZF (with adapter). I spent a good deal of time researching gearboxes for aSaab b234 lump that will be using in one of projects I have, and will be using Rx8 5speeds as they are pretty cheap, plentiful and seem half decent ratios. Stronger of them all is a bmw 330d box and adapter, if you can’t find a 260/265. Last thing, It should be an R28 box for a turbo lump btw, not r25. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallygroupb Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 so do you not recommend the type 9 of ford capri? as an option, and the gearbox of the rx8 is very difficult to adapt? to part of the sheet to fit the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) To fit both T9, RX8 or bmw box you will need an adapter plate anyway (bell housing is available for XE to T9). The Redtop, V6 and Saab B204,205,234,235 etc all have same GM Bell housing bolt pattern. Edited April 12, 2020 by Jessopia74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Redtop, V6 y Saab B204,205,234,235, etc., todos tienen el mismo patrón de pernos de la carcasa GM Bell. I already saw the gearboxes of the rx8 and they are not expensive, which one do you recommend that the 5 or 6 speed motor is better for my engine, some model in particular. thank you very much for the information it helps me a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 5speed is stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thank you very much because I was already looking at the 6-speed gearbox. that of the 192hp model then. Thank you very much again for your help. I really don't know what I would do without this forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
