Sounds like you have 2.8 type 9 or a transit box with a longer input shaft if this is the case you need a convertion plate which i have a spare for 35 quid.

If it is a 1600 box, then it sounds like you need to either get the input shaft lined up correctly (can be a right bugger and the distances are about right for this). If it's not, then you need to get the right gearbox.

Can you measure the length of the input shaft? If so, someone should be able to confirm what type of box it is.

also ensure that your clutch is lined up exactly, my box was about 20-30mm gap, re centred the clutch and all was solved

Check your spigot shaft bearing, you should replace this when changing the box

Is the end of the input shaft flush with the bellhousing face? If so its a clutch alignment problem.
