The 2.8 one won't fit

You need to use the 2.9 one as it's th same, the 2.0 will fit but it's got a 3.92:1 ratio as opposed to the cossie 3.62:1 so will kill the centre viscous in a out 5 minutes

they "look" the same but when it came to it, the 2.8 didn't fit into the 2.9 sump pan

and seeing as the 2.0 and the 2.9 share the same casing, it's probably a change in the casing itself

they also look different slightly, you can see the differences when they are side by side
