Default FRST Gearbox in to a MK4 Series 2?

Are the mounts different?

If so is it as simple as swapping the mount around?


Cheers Billy

Cos mine blew up and i have one sitting around so i thought, whats the difference?

I know it hasnt got a lsd but was talking about the mounts. Ill just swap them round.

Also the comment about torque steer is wrong, surely without a lsd the near side wheel would do most of the spinning

havin had a fezzi rst with the std box and it used to torque steer like a mother fuck,fitted a lsd box to it and you could easily feel the difference,no more lane jumpin,though i did enjoy the torque steer,was 18 at the time
