ok guys, I've got an MTX gearbox currently on the motor (well it's removed from the car). Its a non LSD diesel box I believe.

Its not an RS turbo (yet....!) but a mid engine dax kit car..

I have bought an RS Focus box as I was planning to use the Focus RS clutch and the beefier shot peened gears in the box (400-430hp ish).

Got some questions though...!!! got no experience of MTX boxes and hoping for help

- My shifter linkage is a rod linkage at minute and hydraulic clutch slave... RS box uses cable shift, I'm guessing to modify this (as length wont be right) could be a proper nightmare??

- ratios - Ratios on the RS box will be similar but a bit leggier at the top gears ?? Is this a sensible move or will it screw my gearing?


Also, gearbox mounts are totally different, major PITA . Not sure what route to take. Keep standard box no LSD -> Helix paddle clutch OR push on with the RS focus? anyone done this before in rear engined setup

thanks
