 I believe this transmission is the same as the Ford Sierra 5-speed that

Alan is right but there are several variants of this box (Ford Type Nine) and
some have a longer input shaft that is not suited to the Frontline kit.
However, it would simply be a case of rebuilding the box with a short input
shaft.


Daniel1312 - Ford type nine 5-speed, quick shift and C/R helical gear set.
