Default What gearbox do I have?

Hi just dropping engine out and new engine back in but I'm unsure what gearbox is fitted and wether to change it or not. The number is 92wt-7f096-AA. It has the 4 holes like a series 1 but bar in middle of drive shaft holes so def not got a LSD?? Any ideas?? Cheers Ryan

Just a s2 RST. Built a new engine, forged Pistons, stage 3 head etc. should be running bout 200. Was planning on just swapping the engines and keeping the box but noticed that it wasn't a RST gearbox on stripping out of old engine/box

Later ib5 boxes are supposed to be stronger as the casing is reinfored. 200bhp may be a little too much it seems to be luck whether they last from wwhat i have read

I don't really know if it's a early one or a late one, I had another gearbox under bench that I thought was a xr3i and it looks different but the part number is the same so that must be one of these ib5 also. Fingers crossed will be ok. The updated luk clutch will prob be first to go but I hate paddle clutches
