Hey Guys,

I Have Come Across Gearboxs Where The (wvv) Are Different But The Rest Of The Code Matches....

Anyone Who Can Shead Some Light On My Problems Would Be Much Appreciated As I No Nuthing About This Particular Car.
Thanks

Yep, that is a 7th gen. Not many of those around in the UK. Maybe you'll have better luck in NZ.

I think Kempys are the breakers that many NZ people use?

I'm not sure about that. I'd have assumed that if you just swap the gearbox out you'd be ok, but don't take my word for it.

You dont have to use the locked center diff... You could just use the gearbox itself.

I have seen quite a few people with those cars lock the center diff up for launching or rwd conversions....

Still pretty good deal :)

Have a squiz on MSPORT.co.nz and have a look what Marky did to his old black monster....

He was running it rwd for quite a while with no issues. :)
