3.2 TDCI - What gearbox?

Kind of Land Rover related....

What Van? - New Vans and Used Vans Specialist - Ford Transit — November 2007

It's an article on the 3.2ltr I5 TDCI Transit. Im curious to know what box its mated to. Unless I'm mistaken the engine has another 110n/m of torque compared to the 4 banger. Im pretty sure that would destroy the Getrag MT82 fitted to both the Defender and 2.4 Tranist.

them gear boxes get destroyed by a sheep fart,dont bovver.get a tdi r380 110 mvan or a 1985 transit.

The question comes from trawling the internet for the Defender gearbox torque rating. Only one I can find reckons on 375n/m. Thats 5 less than the R380. With the 2.4 putting out 360n/m compared to the TD5's 300n/m.

TD5 margin 80n/m
TDCI margin 15n/m

That coupled with the fact the Ford unit delivering its torque lower down and it being a 4 banger would explain a lot. (Harsher pluses from diesel igniton)
