There is a plate on the side of the tail shaft on the type 9 which is supposed to have the '5th gear lockout pin and a spring' behind it.
Mine appears to be missing :-( I can probably source a replacement but what does it actually do and what happens if its missing.

Dont think this answers your question, but is an interesting read about type 9's (from my file of things to keep)
http://www.turbosport.co.uk/showthread.php?103512-Type-9-gearbox-tu... scroll down a bit.
Now I need to find one of those pin thingies as its holding up the rebuild.
Still, plenty more to do like wiring and brake lines while its dry outside.
Quite a useful page that one Paul, had a good read through and now understand what stripping the box entails.
