Did you type that on one of them there smart* phones?
I read somewhere that the Kia Cannibal V6 is the same engine as the Mk1 Flealander, so I'd suspect they've sourced their 'boxes similarly. Perhaps you could phone around a few gearbox specialists and ask if they know. You'll probably need to tell them stuff like the year of the car, engine and whatever.

Does anyone know if a ZF ecomid 9-speed servoshift 'box will swap with an Allison MH3000 6-speed auto?
I've been trying to find the answer to that for weeks and never thought of asking on here.

third and fourth synchro`s gone awol it`s a real struggle to drive like the car but not the price of repair on the box. can get a second hand box but you don`t know how good that is will ring round some gearbox specialist to get some info

Good luck with it.
If you get stuck send us a pm. And I will give you a number of someone who's clued up..
He might point you in the right direction of who to go too.
Or what other models have the same gearbox.
