Was driving down the road today and wondered if this was a worth while mod and would it be a straight swap out with the existing box possible new gear linkages etc from the newer box given that the JTD is basically the same engine with electronics/common rail injectors
 
The jtd box is 5 speed. No idea if the multijet box would fit. There would be a better chance of the 2.3 box fitting than the 3.0.
 
Been told no the newer M40 box wont fit, But the later JTD box up to 2006 will fit which doesnt have the same issues with the 5th gear goes right and up rather than right and down

If you put the extra oil in you shouldn't have issues with the 5th.
