Now iam confused. Do you have a 4x4 or 2wd. The 2wd mt75 box wouldn't very good for the power of a cosworth

Cossies 2wd use a borg and warner t5 box.

Look at the gearstick, if you need to lift up a ring beneath the knob, youllhave a mt75. They are built in diesel, like scorpio 2.5td, v6, from a scorpio 2.9 12v, rarein the uk, 4x4 v6, like on a sierra 2.9 4x4 estate, 4x4 4cilinder, from a rather rare sierra dohc 4x4, and a normal rear wheel drive dohc sierra.

T9 boxes youll find on the early sierras with ohc engine, maybe on the cvh engines, and v6 and v6 4x4 boxes in a sierra xr4i and sierra xr4x4.
