which manual 'box for a 1HD-FT (turbo'd 4.2 litre diesel)?

Post by chocolatelustboy »

thinking about grabbing one of these engines but don't want the automatic gearbox that goes with it - anybody know which manuals will work best with it?

Would be nice to be able to find a 5 speed ;o)

Will be going into another 80 series.

good luck with that

make sure you are holding the winning lotto ticket before you start phoning around

the old phrase "rare as rocking horse shit" is defintely for these gearboxes
