MK2 with Sierra gearbox

[chrisrotlmacin]

I just purchased a MK2 Diesel 2.5 with Sierra 5 gear gearbox . The original gearbox got broken .
The gear changer is about 40 cm back of his original position .
Any one else with this change ???

Intersting ! I would like to go for a 5 speed gearbox for my Transits. Do you have any information about your gearbox or the car it comes from ?

From Ford Sierra .

is it an MT75 or a type 9 (where is reverse gear)

if its a type 9 (reverse up next to 1st) you can get the transit type 9 stick and it will bolt onto the top of the sierra box

if its the mt75 ................. you cant

[Luke]

this is the type 9 with the transit stick

[chrisrotlmacin]

Is type 9 i guess , reverse is up next to first but i have to push de gear changer to go in reverse . The handle is short i will try to extend it .
Thank you guys for your answers . Is any one has any documentation on this gearbox ??

[Luke]

if you get the transit stick like what is shown in the picture it will bolt onto your sierra box and you can take off the origanal sierra stick - then your stick will be in the correct place and the right length

From what transit model is the type 9 stick ?? The previous owner told me that the original stick was not used because the gear changer with sierra gearbox is between the chairs . I apologize if my questions are too much , i am just discovering my MK2 that i purchase today . Huge difference , more heavy .. feels like i drive a tank .. that front bumper (tick metal) is scary against any regular car that is build the present .

[Luke]

you can get the stick from a mk3 transit 1986 - 1988/89

Does anyone have an exploded view from the inside of the selector case?

I'm pretty sure that in our older transit ('81 mk2) it's missing some part inside..
-Very often the stick get blocked and then it's impossible to change gears. We must take off the entire stick and re-align the (3) "plates" in order to un-block the mechanism

Can anyone please help?
Thanks

i take it you havent changed the stick position then luke that box wont last long in there as the input shaft on a sierra is shorter and is not reaching into the spigot and to change the stick you also need to change the tail section and i wouldnt advise a diy job on that enjoy it while it lasts

[Luke]

sierra diesel has the longer input shaft why do you need to change the tailshaft mine wasnt changed

[transitgeoff]

well how did you select gears then the sierra has the selector rods in the tail piece

using the transit stick it picks up on a different part of the selecter rods- once the sierra stick is off as you select gears you can see the sierra linkage move i think i might have one still somewhere
