there is a diferent one available for the 75 series (split transfer) but they are no longer manufactured and spare parts are very hard to come by. These overdrive also had a lot of operational problems - very leaky, the shift plates fall out of the synchros, they fall out of gear, the nut on the end of the input shaft comes undone and drops all sorts of stuff into the box - in short, stay away. The cheapest overdrive you can get is a larger set of tyres - for example if you go up to 33's from 31's, if your 100km/h rpm WAS 1600 it will drop to about 2400.

having heaps of gears to choose from is cool but with the complexity comes a definitel reduction in reliability.
