pm'd cheers mate
Has the M59 got the external viscous clutch on it, attached to the driveshaft? I keep trying to find pics, but pics of an M59 box are rare.

If the Viscous clutch is external then whats to stop you bolting it onto another gearbox?.

You can see the splined output shaft. Theres not much info, but as far as I can tell, the M59 had an external viscous clutch which was attached to the O/S driveshaft and would lock up when the wheel started to spin
In fact,T5TEZ has answered my question in his thread. You can see the viscous unit in the pic on the ebay page
