Tail shaft may be different and possibly a tad shorter, gearbox drive flange is different, the slave cyl is concentric type too. Rear mount/cross-member maybe?? Not sure, but the input shaft splines may be different, so the friction plate will be different too. There's a speedo sensor on 5sp, 6sp doesn't have one.

Is the 5 speed box shot or do you just want to change it..?? 1st gear in the 6sp box is only good for climbing trees.

just sounds loads of work

I did change the axle but they are towing a trailer and their is no go in it and they are burning the clutch out

so a think I will but the old axle back on for now and explore the options at a later date

THE DIFF I put in is 3.58 and being a 5 speed was great as he wanted low revs for motorway use

then he comes the other day and says me van has no power and am burning the clutch out , but this van was only to carry work men from site to site not towing 2 ton behind the van all the way to Scotland

a think the other diff is a 5.13 its a mrk 7 and a twin wheeler
as for ps of engine am not sure will pm you the reg
for etis isn't working today

3.58 is very tall for a twin wheel jobbie, they were usually for the 200ps machines, most twin wheel machines were only 100ps or 115ps...4.27 would be a much better ratio...they're a good "all-rounder" ratio.

but he wasn't suppose to be towing heavy trailer and told him this when I fitted it

it was transport for men not a towing work horse

If it’s a mk7 and it’s 5 speed then it’s 100ps
All others were 6 speed

[karl]

it is a 5 speed and could be a 100 ps a don't know I done this job months ago

Yeah...methinks ake is right...5 speed = 100ps... just doesn't have the bollocks to pull a load with a 3.58 diff, fitting a 6 speed with it's really short 1st gear may help but it's a ball-ache to do....and 5.11 is often/usually for tippers/Lutons/recovery machines. Seems you're stuck between a rock and a hard place mate..!
