Hi guys hope you can help me.i am fitting a mt75 gear box to my xr4x4 turbo.i have just broken a '92 xr4x4 2.9. I have props box starter crossmember. But i am just wondering if i need anything else before it goes to scrap.
Has anyone done this conversion? Can it be done?
If anyone wants any '92 xr4x4 bits ring me quick 07765564978.

 

are you swapping directly from 2.9 to 2.9 or are you doing the 2.8 fitment?
if it's the later then you need everything, including clutch, flywheel, pedal box, clutc cable, starter, complete box and front and rear props

you may also need to do some "fettling"

 

Never seen any old XR4x4's about the town - where in Hudds are you?

 

Swapping from type 9 to mt75 why do i need pedal box and clutch cable?
Does the 2.9 fly fit on 2.8?
What fettling?

 

YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN MY RED XR4i AROUND TOWN.
JUST BOUGHT TURBO IN CRYSTAL BLUE,YOU'LL SEE IT SOON JUST BE CAREFULL AS THE WIFE WILL BE DRIVING IT MOST OF THE TIME.

 

Never seen it to be fair - which side of Hudds are you - Waterloo side or Marsden side?

easier to change the pedal box to give you the correct quadrant to go with the clutch/flywheel/clutch fork assembly

you may als oneed to fit the brackets for the mount as i don't think the older cars have the sliding bits in the bottom

 

Just pulled clutch off to remove flywheel and found clutch knackered.what clutch is best bear in mind the car has 200+bhp will cossy 4x4 fit?

 

if you are going to use the 2.9 flywheel then a cossie clutch will fit not a problem

just make sure you get the correct release bearing for teh box though as there are 2 types

 

Thanks for help guys will let you know how i get on soon,got to fit leccy windows,stereo,and leccy roof and cossie seats first.
All this to keep the wife happy!

 

Ahhh - other side of town to me

You interested in a Magnex stainless exhaust for a 4x4 cossie - should fit the V6 downpipes with minimal fuss

Clicky Here

 

Already got stainless exhaust but thanks for the offer.

 

Just spent two days struggling my tits off trying to fit this mt75 box.
Using cossie clutch,xr4x4 cover,2.9 flywheel but it will not go on.
Is there a difference in length? Are the crank bearings the same? Please help i have never struggled with either 2.8 or 2.9 like this before and ive done a few.

 

it hsould fit directly on, there is nothing else that is different because even the bellhosuing is the same, just the depth of the clutch/flywheel combo

 

Well i stripped it all out checked it all fitted together put it all back and the box fell on.all fitted ok just need to put the engine back together,escort cos axle on,fit polybushes,retrim rear seat to cossie cloth etc etc etc
