V6 MTX75, I think the bolt pattern is the same.

No the V6 MTX75 is a Mazda based bolt patten.

I would go for a VW transporter gearbox which you can get both a adapter plate or & a bell housing for to mate to the 24V.

Look on VW forums as only one box is strong enough & for all the contacts + info.

Hi you could try getting the spec on the Mondeo V6 gearbox.
I fancy that would bolt straight in. ;)

Mondeo V6 is the MTX75, which howard has confirmed has the wrong bolt pattern.
