G'day I've got an mq wagon with a 308 and 5 speed with separet transfer case. took 2 teeth of 5 gear hunted around for another one but the closest thing i can find was a 4 speed that lokks the same as my 5 speed, the guy at the wreckers my 5 speed has a after market housing on the back of it, anyone ever seen this or now how makes these over drives?
brought the 4speed and tried to put it in tonight but the input shaft is 185mm compared to 165mm on my 5 speed, do petrel,desil,turbo desil have different out put shafts? please help!!!!

The wrecker doesnt know what he's talking about !
The "add on" housing is where the 5th gear actually lives, EVERY 5 spd box has this housing.......
This housing that has the 5th gear in it measures....... 135mm
