It fouls on the Transit MT75, someone on here chopped a piece out of the bellhousing though and its seemed OK? If you use Hybrid car MT75 no problem.

actually thinking about it all mk5s will be past the cat date i think its 93/94 :? but you can still get the van tested as having a 92 engine as we have done with the mk6 cossy - it's got a 1990 yb engine in a 2001 van with no cat and it passed ok :D

if your using a car MT75 you need a hybrid one to get it rwd - also the stick will be back so you'll have to have 2 seats in the front :)

but as for clutch & flywheel it'll just be an xr4 one :D
