luke i am shure the plate used on the transit mt75 to v6 looks alot thicker ! also at the moement i think there is a 1.9inj ambulace on ebay!

looks like a spacer/adaptor for the starter motor

so what starter motor do they use come to think of it what about the flywheel and clutch are they one offs

Looking at where the adapter plate bolts to the V6, looks the same size as the cars bellhousing, I would be tempted to use the 2.9 XR4x4 flywheel and starter.

I found out, the clutch on the XR4x4 is the same size as the Di's, in fact I know of one 24v powered car using a turbo diesel's clutch

a turbo diesel Di's clutch?

[madmark]

i think alot of clutch plates are the same , 241mm i am useing a pinto 1.6 clutch in the 3ltr essex this turned out to be the same as the svo 3ltr clutch!

Yup, I'm also fairly sure the MT's drive plate fits the T9 'box, because I'm sure he told me he is using it in a Mk2 Escort!

Hi guys,I Have a 2.9 V6 L reg i think mk iv Transit Minibus,,Its like an Extra long Wheelbase,As it was i think a 15 Seater,,it Belonged to the Sultan of Brunei,As i tapped in the Reg L999WEL !!,and several Fords came up,Mindeos and Transits with the WEL Letters,,,any way,,I need a Gearbox i think,,as it Screams in all but 4th and Reverse,,its a 5 speed box,,Seems Very low geared,it also Seems as if some sort of EGR has been Disconnected,as there are things under there that Arent hooked up,and it runs a bit odd at times,i think because its been tampered with,but i cant seem to contact the two Subsequent owners,,the other thing i need,is a 16 inch spare wheel,With 225 Tyres on

[Luke]

a normal transit diesel MT75 will fit - the only difference is the ratios inside

[MinorMatt]

Are you sure its 16" wheels Terry - they were not fitted to transits of that age!

The standard ones were 6J x 15" with 6 wheel studs and 225/70/15c tyres
