I would point you in the direction of Robinhood but their existence appears to have vanished...
www.robinhoodengineering.co.uk is "suspended"

There was an artical in last months PPc Mag about the T16 engine I am sure it mentioned somthing about Rear wheel drive gearboxses will have a look
when I get home.
A note on the LT77 finding a good one is getting dificult as there are a lot of sloppy tired ones about the R380 is a better box supposidly ( even has
a good gear change )
Re Robinhood not paying the bill ? erm I wander

According to their web site they put up a load of PDFs of parts and hit their download limit pretty quickly.
I guess their ISP was not happy with them

I bet it was a typo. Probably more like 50 GB of downloads. If that is true, I suspect they are arguing over an horrendous extra set of bandwidth
charges.
I remember the stick death website hitting their cap and being charged thousands just for a few days usage. Thanfully for their owner they waivered it
on the first month.

If you do get info from RH, I think I remember they were selling the Rover engines with MT75 boxes (obviosuly with a special bellhousing)

I would check out bell housing and gearbox for Landrover Freelander I think the engine is fore and aft though I might be wrong!

For a while i was planning to use a T series, and i didnt like the look of the Robin Hood modified MT75 as they cut away alot of the bell housing,
which cant be that good for strength, especially with turbo amounts of torque.

there must be a way
