mk 2 5 speed gearbox

[Neil]

i think thats right althogh if the 5 speed was introduced on the mk3 in 86 then could some of the last mk2 sold been 5 speed

[travlinman]

Fords did not manufacture a 5 speed commercial box before the MT75. That box was never fitted by fords to the MK2..... FACT

oh no not another transit mk2 with 5 speed box ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320377617385&seller=&toolid=10018&82057282" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320377617385 FACT

Just because it has a 5 speed in it does not mean it was made that way. I was a ford Commercial technician from 1979 to 1986 and can tell you for sure that there were NO mk2 transits manufactured with a 5 speed box FACT. You dont seem to have read the original post properly, he was asking if there was a 5 speed made for the mk2. there was not. BUT you can retro-fit a type 9 or MT75. Does that spell it out for you or do you need to have extra lessons in understanding the english language The ebay no you quote is for a 2.0 PETROL engine RETRO-FITTED with a type 9 box OK

should twig that so can you answer my puzzle my mk 2 has a differant autobox than the c3 , and its factory fitted any ideas why

[redeemer]

So for not having such confusion , should we have a sicky type topic in the info section, with pics , which gearbox is which and to what they where fitted originaly??
Or is there one and I haven't seen it?

Should we do this ??
well put mr Muttley
Neil but yours If Im not mistaken was Special Veichle Order (SVO)? so could it be fitted like the ambys with the V6 and difereent box?

[vana mana]

And i was just starting to enjoy this thread

[Luke]

should we have a sicky type topic in the info section,

i dont think there is any need there's only 1 member in 13 thousand who thinks mk2's had a factory 5 speed

but what about a thread for identifying which box is which and pictures - so people know what box they have that would be a good idea

Yes like that I meant!
Like the different engines thread with pics and specifiacations

type 9 box first appeared in the mk3 generation as a van gearbox with a side mounted van gearstick and different gear clusters from the car variant, if you want to put it in a mk2 as a replacement to a 4 speed type g then its an easy swapover, box, x member, stick, speedo cable, and uses the same prop.

[manandvan]

and hers another one for you, overdrive boxes fitted to ambulances had stronger planetry gears in the overdrive unit made specifically for the extra thrash of the v6 essex engines!!

Its possible for an Ambulance to be fitted with the Ford C4 box, or even a Borg Warner when ford boxes were in short supply. Not all ambulances were auto. Does your box have the data plate still on it?
