Hello, Was Wondering If A Mt75 Gearbox Fits Onto A Cosworth 2wd Yb Engine, And If So What Modifications Needs To Be Done To Do This.. ???

Also, What Power Would Such A Box Be Fit To Take...... I Guess They Would Be No Were Near As Good As A T5 One...

Any Help Would Be Appreciated.... Brian

 

yeah it can be done, but you need to use a std DOHC MT75 and transfer the bellhousing to a 4x4 cosworth one. So that the starter is in the same place and also get the propshaft sorted to suit.

 

So thats it basically no hidden catches, just bolt the mt75 onto a 4wd bellhousing and it will sit up intop place ????

What power is the mt75 gearbox good for, car will be running about 300 bhp, if i thought there was no chance of it taking any abuse then i would pay the extra money for a T5 box, the only thing is that my mate has 2 mt75 boxes which can be bought very cheap...

am i wasting my time thinking of using the mt75 ??????

 

they can take up to about 350 bhp before the start to have problems. I know of someone who is running 400 bhp though there gearbox.

 

Sorry to drag an old thread back to life, thought it better than starting a new one?

I'm thinking of useing a YB with a 2WD MT75 box in my Capri.

I'm just not clear on the DOHC MT75 gearbox, all MT75 2WD boxes look like they dont have seperate bell housings, How do you change it for the 4x4 type?

Does the DOHC MT75 box have a seperate bell housing?

Also with the MT75 box being based largly on the type 9, would that mean it would fit straight swap with no extra work, I'm looking at the MT75 because the T5 box is longer and makes for alot more work to fit in a Capri.

that sounds like when you useing the MT75 with a pinto you have to use a 4x4 box and leave front drive unused?

Thanks!
