Ok here is a bit more detailed info on the problem.
This is just my experience, maybe there are different versions of all this....
The W40 gearbox mount has 2 bolts that go to each side of the gearbox..
The W50 has 4 bolts in a V shape pattern that bolts to the gearbox..
The W40 mount has 2 holes to hold it to the xmember
The W50 has 4 holes to hold it to the xmember.
So from those findings the original W40 xmember wasn't going to work as it only had 2 bolt holes, and also it was almost perfectly straight, whereas the W50 housing seems to be slightly longer (i'm guessing where the 5th gear is). Which means the xmember needs to be shaped more like a banana if it was to bolt to the original holes in the floor.
Also the W50 mount seems to sit a lot lower than the W40 mount which kinda wraps up around the side of the gearbox a bit more.
Hope this makes a bit more sense...
Cheers
Joel
