cosworth in to a sw transit

[Luke]

Different MT75, and again as Geoff says the YB is a different type of power to the BOA\B.

why is it different ive had one apart and i didnt see why - geoffs might have just been a bad box
also they use the mt75 on the 2.9 ambys and they have a lot more weight which is a major contributing factor in the life of the box

all im saying is it make the conversion more difficult doing it all at once - using an mt75 makes it a whole lot easier - if he gets a 2wd cossy he will have a spare T5 to fit

Ok so various MT75 boxes exist but they are all called MT75 so they must share some components!
Could the two types not be combined to make a box that fits the transit but lasts like a sierra?

MT75 stands for Manual Transmission 75mm, 75mm is the distance between the gearshafts inside the box.

The Borg Warner T5 cosworth box is based on the MT75 which is why the internals of the T5 fit inside the MT75 casing.

Fook knows but it is.

[Luke]

this needs looking into, i will reaserch - if i can fit stronger internals into my transit box then i'd rather do that than change the box over to something else

[MrMPuk]

I'm pretty sure you'd better off with a Mk5 and I think the gearbox will still fit.
