jay did say you were after one, I've got a couple somewhere I've been and still looking for them for ages but can't find them

as soon as I find them I'll give you a shout. I think I'll come across them soon because I had to buy one the other week

grp a piece of shit you have to cut a section out to fit the mirror inside of it and then bond the fooker in waste of fooking time if you ask me not only that when you do this you still cant see nothing out of them

basically they do 3 versions of the mt75

1st, 4wd mt75

2nd rwd mt75

3rd fwd mtx75



all the gears that will fit in the 4wd mt75 will fit into the 2wd mt75

not in the fwd mt75

to be honest if your runnig about 350bhp the normal T5 will last

if your runnig abit more power than that , then the T5 could let go any time it's just pop luck if it lasts or not


the Mt75 rwd gearbox is a striaght bolt in but i think you have to mod the propshaft , you also have to go a a 4wd starter motor

you would still be looking at 3k for the striaght cut box (syncron and a bit extra for the dog version
