Do 10 Speed derailleurs work on a 9 speed system?

[nitro01]

Forgive my ignorance but I need a new derailleur for my DH rig and want a clutched version (SRAM Type 2)

Was wondering if said derailleur will work on a 9 speed system? I'm looking at an X9 type 2 short cage

Cheers

Nope. But a Shimano zee clutched will work with a sram shifter. 10spd derailleur to 9spd shifter. Moorey did a good thread on this.
