I'm also building a Azura 24v cossy rep and would like to ask two things, 1st whats "hybrid" about the box on 2wd??? 2nd have you got the engine to idle correct as they should have a sensor for the autobox.
I had a 4x4 24vCossie Estate and miss it big time so thats why i'm building a 2wd saph which i've just started
Hope ya don't mind pics of me old one which i should never of sold

idles fine, there's NO reason for it not to, the autobox stuff doesnt come into play like that.
on mt75s the bellhousing is integral to the box, you cant swap it. it's an XR4x4 casing thats had the 2wd gubbing removed and the internals swapped for 2wd items (from a 2.0 RWD MT75) that way you get the boltpatern you need and the internals you need to. a few places can do this work, inclusing bernie (gearboxman) off here www.gearboxman.co.uk

below 3k they drive exactly the same as a 12v but come 3k it all goes a bit fun and all the power comes in. it feels like the 12v SHOULD have felt like all along, i'd deffo reccomend it (especially for the money!)
