wuvvum Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 How do you tell the difference between an MT75 and a Type 9? I seem to remember the shift pattern's different but I can't recall which is which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Ross Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 MT75 Reverse bottom right. (Some with a push down, but not all, depends on vehicle)Type 9 Reverse, push down past the gate and top left (better for feeling the leg of the bird in the passenger seat, that's why I prefer Mk1 Sierras) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Ta all. Looks like it's an MT75 I need then. Fortunately there's a few cheap ones on the Bay at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredTransit Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Even if it was a type9, I would get an MT75, it's a better and more reliable box, worth the conversion. If the gearbox is off, the type9 is cast iron, and the MT75 is ally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owain-328i Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 MT75 usually has a lift up mechanism under the gearknob for reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew e Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 MT75 has a cast in bellhousing (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milford Cubicle Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 If you feel like going back in time wuvvum, if the gearbox is still fitted and the car running, hit reverse gear while the car is running - if it doesn't graunch it's an MT75. Syncromesh on reverse gear - luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
