Right men, who out there can help me solve my lack of box problem?
I have been chasing a lost cause, i have been trying to track down an mt-75 for my 2.9 cossie engine and the only ones out there are 4x4.
I now need a box that will fit and fast it has to have all the trimmings i:e flywheel,prop,starter and backing plate.
I am not sure if the 2.8 stuff will fit, thats were you lot come into this.
Please put me out of my misery before the rope does.
Thanks to anyone that can save me

The Cologne 2.9 v6 stuff fits the 2.8 but I'm not sure how similar the Cossie 2.9 and the Cologne 2.9 are. In any case, the gearbox internals are the same as the 4 pot equivalents it's just the bellhousing and the input shaft that are longer.

I'm using a Capri v6 box on my (ex-XR4x4) Cologne 2.8. Fitted fine and seems ok although I've only driven it a few hundred yards on my drive!
