Looks like this and stamped on the top should be a number which is individual to each CTS box. You can then call CTS and they will be able to identify it and tell you the spec and when they built/ serviced it.



The ID is stamped on the flat near the selector.

this man raises a good point, for around £1500 you get frs/mtx75+quaife diff box and all associated parts to fit a FRS box.
does mean a bit of work for you and sourcing parts, but will get you a very, very strong gearbox with the diff you're after.
gets a cable changer in there, hydraulic clutch and electronic speedo.

Karlos makes a good point in this thread regarding ib5 vs cts boxes in my opinion.

think they have the markings starting with JP

some boxes hold out some dont, at the end of the day its your choice,and desired goal you want to achieve

a mate of mine had a cts2+ and had 280ish hp and drove it hard all the time, and it lasted for him

As it turns out the box im buying is a stage 2+ and is at a very good price so i doubt an RS box would come in at the same money !
