    Am I right in think this fits onto the vr4 engine. Pretty sure it does. I think
    I have just broke my fto gearbox and these have better ratios then the fto box. Must be a manual box please !!!!!!

    I've got one with knackered input shaft bearing, mostly in bits, but is all together in the box so nothing missing, it will be dirt cheap obviously, just take space in garage, make me an offer if you want it.

    Thankyou for the offer I have managed to track a couple of compleate boxes. I did think about it but I have never built a gearbox before. If you were local I probly would of but postage would be about 30 notes. So i'd rather spend the right money for a compleate box tbh.

    Fair point, but (and now I'm taking from my experience) I strongly recommended that before you put second hand (v6) gbox, change input shaft bearing to avoid doing twice the same (hard) job.

    thanks for the advice. I'll get a bearing on order. The I think that's the reason my Fto box went. Too much torque on a shagged input bearing.

    I got a box. Just got to get it fitted and figure out what else on my car I have ****ed up.
