ford mt75 box dont fit on a pug engine didnt someone over on the ldv forum try it(I joined when i had a ldv400 and a convoy)they found it didnt fit on the engine at all unless you made a adaptor plate up but the gearstick was further back..check a convoy and ldv400 and you will see the stick is firther back towards the cab by about 6 inches..

Right i have it right this time.All 400 models with the En/Et Pug engines had the P5_100 box.After 96 the En/Et pug engines had the MT75 and single rail box.If your box has gear linkages its the p5-100.Come to think of it i had a Citroen relay van many years ago and had problems with gear linkage,if one of the little ball joints came loose it would stay in that gear no matter what you done.I have disc here with everything about the box but havent a clue how to download it.If you have any idea how you do it your welcome to it other than that its the snail mail
