difference between Aus/UK

Aussie Escort Mk2 gearboxes are essentially a Cortina 2Lt type E gearbox in the Pommy parliance... however we our Escort Mk2 gearboxes have a different extension housing with the gearlever and the mount in a different position to the Pommy RS2000/RS1800 which used the same basic type E box (but with an allow bellhousing, and in the RS1800 a closer gearset too).... The remainder of the Pommy range of Mk2 Escorts used type 2 or 3 gearboxes which we only used in some early Mk1 Escorts from my limited knowledged of Mk1's. (I think it is the type 2 that has the integral bellhousing on the gearbox) THats why the Poms use RS2000 gearbox spacers to install RS2000 / Cortina / Type E boxes in Mk2 Escorts as their gearboxes are not quite the same as ours...
