Cortina1975 28 Posted September 18, 2018 Hi all, I need a type 9 5 speed gearbox back plate if anyone has one for sale?. I just found out the 4 speed backplate doesn't fit the position of the starter is slightly different. :cheers: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgo 66 Posted September 18, 2018 Have a careful juggle, usually the 4 speed ones can be made to fit with a little fettling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cortina1975 28 Posted September 18, 2018 That's what I have done as I can't lay my hands on a Sierra backplate..it was about a hole width out on the starter bolts so I've cut the plate and re-welded. The cut out for the starter body needed a bit of work too. :cheers: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markymarkthree 160 Posted September 18, 2018 4 speed plate has never been a problem for me and my type 9 has been in and out of a few of my cars over the years, however I have heard some folk have had problems. :juggle: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
