Yeah the Sierra was never available here thats why i didnt clue into it when I saw it in brackets beside the trans, lol

I did some research on it tho and it turns out we did get the sierra here but it was called the Merkur XR4Ti which also has the same drive train as early mustangs, and mustangs over here are everywere. But the article says the Type 9 trans can only stand up to about 200ft/lbs of tourqe which isnt a whole lot, actually the Z20LET almost makes that if not more in stock form.

My concern with picking a trans is were the shifter will end up, I'm guessing i would be safe with a supra trans or a newer mustang trans, they have been proven to take high amounts of tourqe and the shifter shouldnt be to much hassle. But both of those trannys would require custom bellhousings and I'd like to stay away from that if i can.

There is an SUV here as I mentioned above that uses this motor. Its called the Isuzu Amigo or Rodeo depending on if your in Canada or the US. I know the shifter definatly wont line up but it does have a removable bellhousing. I'm going to do some more searching and see if i can find a trans that fits it that came in a car instead of an SUV.
