hi guys, bit of help needed.

basically, rst lump going in my ka, want a s2 box for the LSD, want a S1 box as its got the mount on the front so would save having to make up another mount.

have found a nice S1 gearbox case for sale so was planning on buying that, then also buying a S2 LSD box and putting all the bits from the s2 box in the s1 case, will all this fit alright? is it just a straight swap?

thanks,

ben.

 

Hi ben

Couldn't you get a S1 box already built up.. remove the existing LSD from it and then replace it with the improved LSD fitted to the Series 2 box?

Nick.. oh and ill bring you that battery round tomorrow all charged up

 

but if i buy a s1 box already built i'd only strip it and probly end up having the case powdercoated anyway so would be easier to buy this one already done.

s1's didnt have LSD's anyway did they? only s2?

 

hi, its quite staight forward to swap the casing, but you will need a puller for 5th gear. some experience with this box would be usefull though.

 

Yeah s1 has an viscous controlled LSD... the S2 just had an improved version of it

Nick

 

Where do you base this? Common information is that the S2 had the downgraded LSD.

 

Rs owners club website.. in the list of what was changed between the S1 & S2

Well, it also states that the intercooler, KE-jetronic and gearbox are improved
